People’s History Museum – Collections Assistant

An exciting opportunity to join People’s History Museum’s (PHM) Collections & Engagement Team at a time of key development for the museum and the collection.  The Collections Team are currently exploring the practicalities of relocating the object store.  As well as providing improved conditions for our objects, they hope that this new building will be safe and accessible to the public; allowing for more onsite engagement.

A move of this size and scale is a huge task, and the Collections Assistant will be pivotal in helping the museum to prepare the collection for this move by developing an inventory of objects at the store, documenting and cataloguing objects to reduce any backlog, and repacking objects to approved standards.

This work will give the museum a better understanding of the collection and will contribute to our core engagement, exhibitions, and learning programme.

Closing date – 21 June
