Are you ready to shape inspiring learning experiences and audience-focused programmes that engage over three million visitors each year while helping to build the next generation of scientists, engineers, innovators and entrepreneurs?
The Science Museum Group's galleries, exhibitions and events have inspired generations of young people to pursue careers in science, engineering and technology. We recognise that this journey begins early, which is why Early Years engagement is a key strategic priority for the Museum.
To support this work, we are seeking an Early Years Lead to join us on a fixed-term basis for two years. This is a full-time role (35 hours per week) and can be based at any Science Museum Group site, with hybrid working available. Regular travel across Science Museum Group locations will be required.
As an Early Years Lead, you will shape a forward-looking, Group-wide approach to Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1 (KS1) engagement across the Science Museum Group. With insight from research, sector knowledge, and trusted practitioner connections, you will oversee important strategic projects, create innovative programs, and share best practice across our sites.
By working with teams across Curatorial, Collections, Communications, Marketing, Enterprises, Digital Experiences, Exhibition Services, Operations, and Visitor Insight, you will shape an Early Years offer that is audience-led, high quality, and valuable for building science capital, broadening engagement, and meeting income targets.
