What are we looking for?

The Facilities Management role is a substantial role which is ideal for someone who wants to use their relevant professional skills to help us to provide a supportive environment.

What difference will you make?

The museum is a small sized organisation, and we have no paid staff. We have to recruit and train our people and ensure that they are safe, but we also need to promote our services in the community, ensure that our finances are healthy, and manage our own IT. We have a long term lease on our premises and the need to them means we must provide the utilities, supplies, and enhancements to keep the service running and provide a comfortable working environment. All of these activities need to be done effectively and efficiently by a volunteer workforce.

The Facilities Management role is a substantial role one and is ideal for someone who wants to use their relevant professional skills to help us to provide a supportive environment.
