Job Details

The team brings alive the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) that impacts all our lives and inspires the scientists of the future through a wide range of exciting and engaging programmes, including exhibitions, events, festivals, community partnerships and schools and families’ activities. The programme inspires curiosity and fosters a deeper understanding of science and media technologies. 

To support the work of the team, we are now looking for a Public Programme Coordinator to join us in Bradford.

As Public Programme Coordinator, you will provide the support needed to deliver live and digital events, activities and programmes to a range of museum audiences on and off site and support the delivery of exhibition installs. You will ensure that the Public Programme at NSMM is planned and delivered smoothly, successfully and safely. You will help to coordinate activities across the Public Programme, including explainer-led programming, events and exhibitions and be a point of contact for contractors and colleagues.  You will develop a broad range of skills and experience in producing inspirational educational programmes, exhibition development, practical delivery and contractor management.

Open for All is one of the Science Museum Group’s five core values and sets out our important aspiration to be a place for everyone. We are working hard to understand our organisation better and to develop a culture that recognises and values different backgrounds, mindsets, skills, experience, knowledge, and expertise. By having greater diversity, we believe that we will be a stronger and better organisation, capable to continue to Inspire Futures.

Joining us, you will bring experience of researching, planning and supporting programmes, events and activities in informal or formal educational settings. This is primarily a role to support delivery of programmes, so you’ll bring a flexible approach with a willingness to get involved with all elements of events delivery. You will also be a strong administrator, with good organisational and time-management skills. Experience of good health and safety practice in public events and activities will be helpful.

Don’t feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn’t match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.
