Public Programme Coordinator

Are you interested in supporting the delivery of our inspiring programme of events? Are you flexible and organised in your approach, with a willingness to learn?

About us

The National Science and Media Museum (NSMM) explores the science and culture of image and sound technologies and their impact on our lives. The Public Programme team is key to this ambition.

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.

About the role

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.

About you

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.
