HOPE for the Future Learning Officer (2 posts)

The Museum of Natural History is embarking on an ambitious project, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund (NLHF) to deliver a plan of activity to safeguard the British Insect Collection and use it to inspire the public. The project is called HOPE for the Future: Heritage, Outreach and Preservation of Entomology.

The museum wishes to appoint two learning experienced officers to work with the existing learning team to deliver significant components of the NLTF activity plan. The project will develop and deliver an ambitious level of working in the community including a significant schools outreach programme, with a focus on schools in areas of disadvantage, and will establish an out-of-school engagement programme for young people, allowing extended engagement with the collections and the museum.

The Learning Officers will be responsible for delivering a demanding schools outreach programme, with a focus on delivering Insect Discovery Days, based on the CREST framework, allowing students to gain a recognised certificate as part of their experience of engaging with heritage.

Applicants are required to complete the online application form (via the University of Oxford job website) and include a CV and supporting statement addressing the selection criteria.
