Keswick Museum is an independent museum and art gallery serving the local community and visitors to Keswick and the wider Lake District. We care for and interpret collections that tell the story of Keswick, the surrounding area and its people, and provide exhibitions, events and activities for a wide range of audiences.
We are now looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Museum Operations Manager to lead the effective day-to-day running of the museum. Depending on the outcome of a current grant application there may be an opportunity to extend the contract for the right candidate.
The Museum Operations Manager will ensure that Keswick Museum operates effectively, safely and efficiently, providing a welcoming and engaging experience for visitors and a positive working environment for staff and volunteers. This is a practical management role in a small organisation. You will need to be comfortable taking responsibility, solving problems, managing competing priorities and working collaboratively with colleagues, volunteers and trustees.
This is an exciting time for the museum as we are about to embark on a transformation of the museum and are currently seeking funding to support this process with an additional development role. Working alongside the ops manager this additional role will lead the transformation process identified in the grant application and ensure we have sufficient management capacity needed to develop the organisation for the future.
