This role is an excellent opportunity to join our busy Collections Management team for a year and learn how to carry out a range of core museum tasks in a national museum. You will work with staff across our departments and branches, seeing how different museum specialisms work together to care for and interpret collections.
You will have some experience or interest in collections management, and with supervision and training we will provide, you will be able to carry out the documentation of IWM’s handling and props collections. You will research the collection to understand the provenance of each item to contribute to a collections review and you will support the exit of items not required.
You will work collaboratively with many IWM staff (including conservators, curators and other collections professionals, exhibitions and public engagement and learning teams) so that your work supports our collections development and documentation strategies.
You will assess the collections, identifying potential hazards (after you have received appropriate training), and prepare items for safe transport. You will make sure all items are documented, researched and, where applicable, exited according to our procedures.
The role is based at IWM Duxford and will require travel to our other branches.
