Museums Partnership Officer – Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust

We are looking for a keen Museums Partnership Officer to support the day-to-day delivery of our National Portfolio Programme funded by Arts Council England (ACE). Our National Portfolio Programme is delivered through the Kent Medway Museum Partnership (KMMP).

The ideal candidate will have strong communication and administrative skills, particularly in data collation and reporting, client relationship management skills, and a meticulous attention to detail.

The successful candidate will be able to manage budgetary reporting and the collation and interpretation of qualitative data. The candidate will be expected to accurately interpret ACE guidance and regulation to ensure the KMMP adhere to the ACE funding agreement.

Please refer to the Job Description for a full outline of duties to be carried out to fulfil the role. If you believe you have the relevant experience and skillset to be our new Museums Partnership Officer, we would be delighted to hear from you.
