Summary
Museum and Events Assistant
Salary: £34,092 (including inner London weighting of £5094)
Contract type: Permanent (35 hours per week)
Location: RCN UK HQ Office
At the Royal College of Nursing we’re an optimistic organisation. And we’ve got good reason to be. We all share the same voice when it comes to changing the shape of the health policies of the future. And as the largest trade union of nursing staff and students in the UK – with close to half a million members – all we can see are the infinite possibilities for a brighter future. Join us and you will too.
Our Library and Museum has been awarded Archives Accreditation and the Customer Service Excellence standard.
We're accredited with Investors in People Gold Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.
As our Museum and Events Assistant in our Library and Museum you’ll use your enthusiasm, positivity, and heritage experience to develop our object collection and support an outstanding exhibitions and events programme.
In this varied role every day will be filled with possibilities. You will get involved in anything from co-creating exhibition content with members, to planning and delivering events and working with our unique collections. We'll look to you to support our historic tour offer, care for our object collection and work with the creative sector to deliver a wellbeing programme for our members. It's a great way to build your skills and experience and develop your potential.
To join us you’ll need administrative and collection management skills and a background in a relevant area such as museums, heritage or the arts.
You'll be efficient, accurate and show a real customer focus in all you do.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
What we offer you
We expect you to look after our members. And we expect you to be rewarded for it. We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.
*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.
What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn’t fit all. We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver – whether that’s to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles. At the RCN it’s unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
Our selection process
Please submit a supporting statement demonstrating how you meet the criteria for this role. You may not be shortlisted if you don’t.
We want your experience applying for a job with us to be the best it can be. We’re having to be more flexible about how we hold interviews and assessments, most of which are held in person. If you foresee any problems with accessing this, please do let us know in your supporting statement.
As a proud member of the Disability Confident employer scheme we actively encourage applications from people with disabilities.
