Our manager will be personable, have great attention to detail and will be able to use initiative taking responsibility day to day. They will be happy working alone or with volunteers and liaising closely with the Board of Trustees and the Museum Committee. During the winter closure the Museum Manager will be responsible for overseeing activities such as deep cleaning, collections management and supervising building repairs.
