Curator / Grants and Projects Officer – Erasmus Darwin House

Darwin House is an independent, accredited Museum that was once the family home of doctor, inventor and published poet Erasmus Darwin (1731 – 1802). With its unique place in Georgian history Darwin House showcases the breadth of Erasmus Darwin’s interests and achievements which laid the foundations for his grandson and evolutionary biologist Charles.

Whilst the foundation generates some of the income required to meet running costs from a small admission fee, together with activities such as corporate room hire, weddings, school visits and events, we do rely on grant funding to help meet those core costs and also to finance the future development of the museum.

The primary role of the Curator/Grants and Projects Officer is to help us achieve our business plan by identifying and applying for grants for core funding and to finance projects. However, role would also include performing any curatorial duties required.

The preferred candidate would be able to demonstrate a proven track history of successful grant applications and experience of working in the heritage or arts sector.
