Director – St Neots Museum

The Museum Director is the leader of the St Neots Museum team of staff and volunteers ensuring good professional practice in all areas of the museum and that the museum remains accredited, resilient and financially sustainable. As well as leading day-to-day operations of the museum as an important community asset you will also be responsible for the development and delivery of key strategies to enable the charity to fulfil its aims, improving the sustainability and resilience of the organisation as well as rejuvenating its visitor offering to ensure community access to the museum’s collections and local heritage.

This is an exciting time to join the team at St Neots Museum as we actively seek to apply for funding to carry out redevelopment of the museum building and its exhibition spaces to meet the changing needs of Cambridgeshire’s largest (and growing) town. In addition to our key priority of transforming the Museums infrastructure we have ambitions to grow the museum’s visitor numbers and re-invigorate our programme of exhibitions, events and activities through expansion of our fundraising capabilities. This includes material available online and at partner organisations as well as at the museum itself.

St Neots Museum is a registered charity and an accredited museum, run by a diverse group of enthusiastic staff, trustees and volunteers. Our volunteers contribute their time and skills to provide a professionally executed, fun, interesting and educational visitor experience for all.
