Could you help us build on our record of success at Wycombe Museum?

Our current Museum Director is moving on, with our Board now looking for an Interim Director to run museum operations and lead on completing and implementing our strategic review.

We are offering the position as a fixed-term 12-month contract working four or five days a week by agreement, and with scope for this to become permanent.

A challenging and exciting role, you will ensure that the Museum continues to deliver locally and nationally in its role as an inspiring visitor attraction and centre of excellence for learning, outreach, and community involvement whilst caring for its important collections, notably chairs, and engaging new audiences through social and digital reach.

You will need to be a strong and inspirational leader and outstanding communicator with vision, drive, and experience of building and leading teams and generating income.  You should have the confidence and experience to deal with people at all levels, strategic capability, and strong financial and commercial acumen with management skills and sound judgement.

Previous museum or heritage sector experience, while an advantage, is not essential but you should be able to demonstrate essential qualities to understand and manage our museum’s operations.
