Applicants for this post will require an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

As a Learning and Participation Officer, you will be part of the award-winning Learning and Participation Team at the National Civil War Centre - Newark Museum, leading school visits and facilitating family and community activities.
You will be a strong communicator, with a background in formal and/or informal education. In this role, you will deliver engaging and lively sessions for children and young people of all ages. This will include primary and secondary school sessions, Mini Museum sessions for the under 5s, and Family Saturdays once a month. This is a varied role: you might be dressed as a civil war soldier demonstrating a musket drill, leading the medieval dancing at Newark Castle, or handling 17th century artefacts with A level students. Flexibility, creativity, and playfulness are an advantage!

We can offer a competitive salary and, in addition, you’ll enjoy the benefits of flexible and agile working, a generous holiday allowance that increases with service, £10/month gym membership at one of our four gyms across the District, free staff car parking, and a very competitive occupational pension. In addition, you will be joining a professional and passionate team.
