The Fitzwilliam Museum: Opening up the past to transform our futures. As the principal museum of the University of Cambridge and the largest cultural venue in the region, The Fitzwilliam Museum acts as a crucial bridge between the University, the City and the rest of the world, and has an international reputation for extraordinary research, world class exhibitions, award-winning public programmes and significant collections spanning many cultures and centuries. We invite applications for the role of Museum Educator. This role contributes to unlocking the Fitzwilliam Museum's collections in ways that ensure that talent and capability of children, young people and their families is enhanced and acknowledged as a vital part of the cultural life of the city, region and beyond. This role works as part of a team delivering high quality facilitated sessions to school-age young people in the museum, in schools and other community settings in Cambridgeshire. The post holder will collaborate with education sector leaders, teachers and children and young people to develop innovative approaches to engaging this audience through creative practices. The post holder will engage colleagues within the museum as well as external artists and expertise to develop and prepare sessions which ensure that planned outcomes for participants are delivered. The role uses agreed methodologies to measure and evidence programme impacts, and to ensure that evaluation and consultation feed into continuous improvement. Teaching takes place in the public galleries in direct relation to collection objects, in education spaces for practical activities, and through outreach. The collections are used as a springboard from which a wide variety of curriculum subjects can be explored including history, art, geography, languages, technology, science, maths, creative writing, RE, and music. Teaching is by discussion rather than instruction, and sessions aim to build up the skills, and capabilities of children and young people with the aim that they can make new connections, and share perspectives to explore, respond, contribute to and question society today. We aim for all connections with the museum to contribute to the achieving of the Fitzwilliam Museum vision through the application of our mission and the exploration of the 4 pillars of the Learning and Public Programme: Creating Opportunity; Society and Identity; Health and Wellbeing and Identity. We offer a supportive and inclusive workplace, a generous pension scheme, enhanced family leave, substantial holiday allowance, and a range of employee benefits, including retail discounts. The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society. The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK. Fixed-term: 1 years.
