The Role
An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Museum Collections team due to maternity leave for the existing postholder. This part-time post plays an essential role in assisting Curators with looking after and making accessible a wide range of collections of over 115,000 objects.
This role is based at the Collections Centre in Glenrothes, but you will also work frequently at our other venues across Fife, including Kirkcaldy Galleries, Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries, and St Andrews Museum. Collections management responsibilities include assisting with cataloguing on EMu, storage, photography, and preventative conservation.
High-quality customer service is required for enquiries online and in person. This includes showing objects to visitors at the Collections Centre and helping Curators with group visits and volunteers. The postholder will also assist Curators with objects selected for displays and exhibitions.
The postholder will assist colleagues in the Exhibitions and Archives & Local Studies teams, as well as other staff across OnFife when relevant.
About You
It is essential that you have catalogued collections on collections management systems and have museum object handling experience. You must also possess good organisational and communication skills (written and oral) and excellent attention to detail.
Knowledge of preventative conservation and a current driving licence are desirable.
