Who are we?

Gunnersbury Park & Museum offers an exciting and diverse learning programme where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can discover history and heritage through activities such as drama, object-handling and creative outdoor learning.

What are we looking for?

Gunnersbury Park & Museum is now seeking a Learning Assistant to join the Learning Team. It will be on a casual basis (Zero Hours) and will be to work term-time only within 34 weeks a year time frame but with the possibility of some additional days being offered in the school holidays. This role will primarily focus on delivering museum and park-based workshops to visiting school groups. There may also be opportunities to get involved in other aspects of our programming, delivering workshops and activities to a wider audience.

The ideal candidate will have a drama/creative arts background, will have experience of working with children, good communication and presenting skills, and experience of delivering workshops in a museum, gallery or heritage environment and ideally experience as a costumed character. You will also have a strong interest in history and helping others engage with related subjects through taking part in inspirational learning experiences.

This position will require a DBS check that will reveal any unspent convictions. A criminal record may not necessarily be a bar to appointment, as any decision will be treated on its merits and individual circumstances subject to the museum’s overriding obligations to protect the children and vulnerable adults in its charge, members of the public, the safety of the museum’s staff and the collection.
Gunnersbury Park and Museum Development Trust is keen to ensure our staff represent a diverse range of people across different communities and welcomes all such applications.
