Based at the SWMD office at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, you will be part of a network of MDOs spread across the South West of England and the regional team of thematic officers (Audiences, Collections, Volunteering and Digital Engagement), helping to develop and deliver our 2018-2022 activity plans.

You will contribute to the delivery of a high quality, nationally recognised South West Museum Development programme, delivering sector development support and advice to museums in the Gloucestershire and West of England sub-region (primarily in Bath and North-east Somerset, and Swindon).

You will want to use your knowledge and experience to help museums develop their skills and their offer to the public and support them to be sustainable organisations. You will also have an understanding of the wider issues affecting the sector.
