MLA North West is the regional strategic development agency for the

region, and its distinctive cultural, social, educational and economic
life and identity.
MLA North West provides strategic leadership, advocacy, information and
support, raising the profile of museums, libraries and archives, building
knowledge about the sector and developing diverse audiences.
MLA North West forms part of a network of nine regional agencies in the
nine English regions, funded by the Department for Culture Media and Sport

We are now seeking an experienced and energetic professional to coordinate
our Cultural Entitlement (CE) programme.
CE is funded by DCMS and DfES and aims to raise standards of teaching and
learning for pupils by developing innovative new programmes and resources
that teachers and pupils can engage with across a range of curriculum
areas, using the collections of museums and archives.
You will have some experience of working in education or in museums,
libraries or archives, and will have excellent communication and
interpersonal skills, as well as experience of managing and evaluating
projects.
