1. A CV of your experience and two relevant examples of strategy documents.

3. An indication of the number of days required to deliver this work and consultancy rates.

Royal Botanic Gardens Kew seeks a consultant to work with the Head of Department and Formal Learning and Development Manager at Kew Gardens to prepare the revised five-year strategy.

The strategy will make a compelling case for why schools learning is an integral part of Kew’s mission and why Kew is best placed to lead plant and fungal based schools learning nationally.

This new strategy will include an executive summary, introduction, contents, rationale for each priority, case studies, information boxes, glossary, and references and will be equivalent in length to the original strategy (44pp).

The consultant will also work with Kew’s internal design department to supervise the strategy through to publication.

We are therefore looking for a consultant with:

1. First class writing skills with an ability to write clearly and succinctly to communicate to a wide range of stakeholders.
2. Experience of writing compelling strategies.
3. Excellent communication, organisational and planning skills.
4. A thorough understanding of project management and processes required to implement the brief from start to finish.
5. An understanding of schools’ learning at an outdoor site and the different approaches used to engage pupils.

Kew will make available to the consultant:

1. Time by the Head of Learning and Participation and Formal Learning and Development Manager at Kew Gardens.
2. Access to schools learning data at Kew Gardens and Wakehurst.
3. Desk space at Kew Gardens, if required.

Become a member of a supportive and resourceful network of museum and heritage educators.
