There are a wide range of part-time and flexible positions available in the visitor experience team at the museum which will showcase the area’s rich history of innovation.

Janine Derbyshire, head of visitor experience at Derby Museums said: “We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic people to join our visitor experience and catering teams, along with an assistant site-manager, to help celebrate and share Derby’s inspirational story. For many of the roles you don’t need to have previous museum or visitor attraction experience. However, we are looking for bags of energy, enthusiasm and passion and we will make sure that new recruits have the very best training to deliver a world class visitor experience.

“The people of Derby have been central to creating the Museum of Making, so we are really pleased that we can bring new job opportunities to the region after a difficult year. We are keen that the museum represents the diversity of our region and this is a great opportunity to get into a fulfilling and exciting new role, even if you thought working in a museum wasn’t for you.”

Digital introduction days for the visitor experience roles are on: January 5 at 2pm and 7pm and January 9 at 11am.

Digital introduction days for the catering roles are on January 12 at 2pm, January 14 at 7pm and January 16 at 11am.

Applications for roles will close towards the end of January 2021.
