£27,835 per annum

About the role
As Public Programme Coordinator you will work on a varied programme of events and activities across Sheffield Museums sites that appeal to a broad range of visitors with different lived experiences and interests. You will work alongside a small team to create experiences that encourage curiosity, learning and thought and generate income where appropriate.
About Us
Sheffield Museums Trust is the independent charity that runs six of the city’s leading museums and heritage sites; Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, Graves Gallery, Kelham Island Museum, Millennium Gallery, Shepherd Wheel and Weston Park Museum.
We believe that the museums and collections we care for belong to everyone and we know that connecting with them can make people’s lives better. Our vision is to develop ambitious, resilient, collaborative museums that represent, celebrate and inspire the people of Sheffield.
We want to make the city’s museums welcoming, outward-looking and connected to the communities around them. We know that people encounter many barriers that make connecting with their museums and collections difficult. We are committed to working collaboratively to make long-lasting changes so more people can use the museums to learn and reflect, and to find joy and inspiration.
Sheffield Museums is committed to becoming an anti-racist organisation and embedding equity, diversity and inclusion across all aspects of the organisation from the collections and programming to policies, procedures and workforce development.
As a valued member of the team, you’ll get 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata if part time), life insurance and wellbeing support through our employee assistance programme. We also promote a flexible working culture.

The successful candidate will have:
- demonstrable experience of creating, planning, administering, and delivering events and activities that appeal to a broad range of people – whether this has been within a museum environment or elsewhere
- an interest in art, culture, industry, science, technology and heritage.
- excellent organisational and administrative skills.
- the ability to problem solve, prioritise competing workloads and work to tight deadlines.
- initiative and creativity; the ability to come up with exciting and inspiring ideas and to follow them through to delivery and evaluation.
- the ability to build relationships with other teams, collaborators, and partners.
