With three fantastic museums to enjoy in the heart of Derby, our museums inspire the thinker, artist and maker in everyone. Inspiring exhibitions, fascinating collections and a year-round programme of events and activities have provided engagement for over 200,000 visitors of all ages and abilities. The enjoyment of visiting our museums is made even more exceptional by our Visitor Experience Team who go out of their way to make someone’s day.

We are looking for happy and energetic people to join the team and help celebrate and share the many inspirational stories within the galleries.

We are recruiting to a wide range of part time and flexible positions with permanent contracts varying between 13 and 32 hours per week, including some exclusive weekend working. You would be part of a fantastic and friendly team, responsible for welcoming visitors to Derby Museum and Art Gallery or the Museum of Making, with occasional working at Pickford’s House Museum too.

All salaries will be based on the National Living Wage.
