Curator
Gairloch Museum is inviting applications from experienced, enthusiastic museum professionals to lead us forward into a new era after a challenging, but ultimately highly successful, community-led redevelopment project. ‘Our Land, our People, our Story’ achieved our relocation to a repurposed Cold War bunker. The transformation culminated in the award of the prestigious ‘Art Fund Museum of the Year 2020’.
As the centre for historical and genealogical study in Wester Ross, we offer in-person and online events, activities and outreach all-year-round for visitors, residents, schools and community groups. Our new curator will have the expertise, commitment and interpersonal skills to develop our cultural heritage resources, taking full advantage of our expanding collection, library and archives and the support of a strong staff team of pro-active employees and volunteers.
Applications should be submitted by email by 30 June to secretary@gairlochmuseum.org
