The post is offered as a permanent contract working four or five days a week by agreement.

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 local history, especially the history of chairmaking, learning, outreach and community engagement whilst caring for its important collections and involving new audiences through social and digital reach.
