Job Title: Business Planning Consultant / Audience Development Consultant
Location: Quex Park and Gardens, Kent CT7 0BH
The Powell-Cotton Trust (PCT) is a charitable company limited by guarantee and registered charity (no. 1167318) established in 2016 to govern the Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens. It replaces earlier charitable bodies, which have been in existence in one form or another since 1926.
2026 marks the centenary of the establishment of a Charity to govern the Museum, and it is an opportunity to reflect on the past, to learn from the collection and our communities, to embed good practice and sector leadership that enable us to secure the success of the next 100+ years of the Trust.
As such, the Trust is embarking on a National Lottery Heritage Funded project to strengthen the long-term sustainability, resilience and relevance of the Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens.
The project focuses on two interconnected strategic challenges:
- Improving visitor experience, engagement and audience growth.
- Enhancing organisational sustainability through strengthened infrastructure, governance, business planning, people and financial resilience.
We are looking for two consultants to assist with the Business Plan research and development (£20,000 contract), and an Audience Development consultant (£20,000 contract). We will consider proposals from one consultancy firm or associates to address both briefs (a total contract of £40,000).
- A short description of relevant experience and previous projects.
- Outline methodology and timetable for delivery.
- Proposed fee structure (excl of VAT but inc expenses).
- Confirmation of public/professional liability insurance.
It is hoped the successful candidate/s will be able to begin work on this project asap after appointment.
