About the role
Can you capture the imaginations of visitors and create memorable experiences in museums?
You will join a team of Experience Leaders in a key public-facing role within the Audience & Content Directorate. You will develop and deliver onsite activities for audiences within the Informal Learning and Public Programmes team, focusing primarily on adult group tours. You will work with local, national and international audiences of different interests and backgrounds, including tourists, first-time and repeat visitors, dignitaries and academics, who engage with the Ashmolean and, through it, the University of Oxford.
This is a unique opportunity for you to provide diverse audiences with high-quality experiences and contribute to creative idea development within the wider programme, supporting strategic and commercially viable initiatives that enhance the Museum’s reputation and reach.
This is an ad-hoc role with no guaranteed hours. Work is offered in line with operational demand and may be offered at short notice. Wide availability is important to the effective delivery of the role and will be taken into account when allocating work.
About You
You will be appointed as part of a team of variable-hours Experience Leaders, working alongside Gallery Lecturers, Adult and Public Creative Producers and the Head of Informal Learning & Public Programmes in the Informal Learning and Public Programmes team.
You will deliver enjoyable, stimulating and memorable experiences for a wide range of museum visitors, while helping to provide a sustainable income stream for the Museum. You will be paid a set rate to develop new sessions, with delivery paid by the hour depending on sessions delivered. Full training will be provided and paid at the hourly rate.
What We Offer
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
• An excellent contributory pension scheme
• 38 days of annual leave
• A comprehensive range of childcare services
• Family leave schemes
• Cycle loan scheme
