The Science Museum aims to inspire visitors with award-winning exhibitions, iconic objects and stories of incredible scientific achievement. Our world-class collection forms an enduring record of scientific, technological, and medical advancement from across the globe.
The Learning & Events team at the Science Museum is unique in its scale and approach to engaging all ages with STEM and the Museum's collection.

As this is an operational role, you will be proactive, collaborative and flexible, with a good understanding of health and safety and safeguarding procedures. You will also be a strong advocate for accessibility and inclusion in everything we do; you will consider how our programmes can be accessible to our local communities - as visitors, volunteers or staff - and work with the wider team to make this happen on a day-to-day basis.
