*This vacancy is only available for applications from existing Internal Plymouth City Council employees and Agency Workers who are in an active placement and have 12 weeks continuous service. Applications submitted by External candidates who do not meet this criteria will not be considered and will be rejected.
This dynamic senior role within the Collections team will lead on the care of collections and central aspects of exhibition design and delivery. From upholding professional standards in collections management to delivering on all technical aspects of exhibitions installation and deinstallation, this role is fast-paced and exciting.
As a specialist in collections management and exhibition design and delivery you will manage a team of skilled personnel and work closely with senior colleagues. You will bring to the role an in-depth knowledge and experience of working with collections and on exhibitions. In delivering the role you will champion and develop both internally and sector-wide, innovative and progressive approaches to collections management and exhibition development. This will include identifying and harnessing opportunities for fundraising and collaboration.
You’ll be supported by a wider Collections team who are skilled and ambitious. We want to use The Box’s collections to generate pride, promote public participation and become nationally known and locally loved. Following almost five years of critically acclaimed programming, we are hungry to grow our audiences and reputation and reimagine what a new hybrid cultural organisation can be in the 21st century. So, if you are full of ideas and skilled at sharing them, we would love to hear from you.
