The fundamental aim of the role is to take the lead in the production and delivery of original and innovative work for a wide range of audiences and age groups. You'll help us to create imaginative, creative and socially impactful experiences that reflect the museum's vision, values and programming themes.

Manchester Jewish Museum is a hospitable place that makes connections by showing and sharing universal experiences through the stories of one culture. We are a place to experience and explore how we are different, together.
