Are you a dynamic performer looking for a new challenge? Do you thrive on sharing engaging stories to large groups of schools and families? If so, the Learning team at London Museum has the perfect new role for you.
London Museum is looking for three Showspace Storytellers to join its award-winning Learning team. The Showspace programme will be the flagship Learning offer for schools and family audiences at the new London Museum which opens later this year. Situated at the heart of the museum, the N. Sethia Showspace will be the focal point for sharing London’s greatest stories with our youngest visitors and their teachers, parents, carers and guardians.
We’re looking for Storytellers with a passion for communicating London’s complex and diverse stories with young Londoners and who can remain positive and enthusiastic during busy periods of shows delivery. Our Showspace Storytellers will work from a prepared script and will be able to receive feedback on performances and provide feedback to others. They’ll be key members of the Learning team, supporting all elements of the Learning programme, and be responsible for the upkeep of the Showspace.
The Showspace Storytellers will work from a rota. They will work at least two Sundays a month and will only need work on Saturdays in exceptional circumstances.
To find out more, join one of our online informal information sessions with the Showspace Learning Manager. In these sessions we’ll tell you more about the role and you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions.
If you are successfully shortlisted you will be invited to an assessment day. The assessment day will include a mixture of individual and group activities designed to help us understand your skills, strengths and how you demonstrate our museum behaviours. All of the essential criteria listed on the person specification will be assessed. For the assessment day you will be asked to prepare a performance from a script provided by the museum, in addition to providing constructive feedback to others and receiving feedback positively. The script will be supplied at least one week in advance.
London Museum is committed to being an equitable and inclusive employer, and to becoming representative of the diversity of London. We particularly welcome applications from people from Global Majority backgrounds, who are currently under-represented in our organisation. We also welcome applications from disabled people, as we’re a Disability Confident Leader and are committed to recruiting, retaining and developing disabled people.
Become a member of a supportive and resourceful network of museum and heritage educators.
