Join Us in Bringing History to Life at Brighton & Hove Museums!
Are you a creative storyteller who loves sparking curiosity and connecting with diverse audiences? Do you enjoy transforming research and ideas into engaging content and experiences? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative museum professional to play a key role in ‘A Garden Fit for a King’, an exciting National Lottery Heritage Fund–supported project revitalising the historic Royal Pavilion Regency Garden.
As part of our project team, you’ll help shape how visitors experience the Garden by supporting the development and delivery of high quality interpretation content and design. Working closely with colleagues, you’ll use historic research to refresh our Activity and Interpretation Plans, and you’ll play a part in improving access to archives and collections that tell the Garden’s fascinating story.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute your creativity and passion to a major heritage garden project—one made possible thanks to National Lottery players, whose support is helping us rejuvenate one of Brighton’s most iconic landscapes.
If you’re excited about heritage, storytelling using plants & wildlife, and creating meaningful visitor experiences, we’d love you on the team.
