EVENTS AND PROGRAMMES MANAGER
 Circa £23k P/A depending on experience

 An exciting opportunity has arisen for someone with a passion for science
 communication to join the Techniquest Visitor Services team. We are looking
 for an imaginative, dynamic person who can demonstrate excellent
 understanding of the public in a setting like Techniquest, and can grasp
 opportunities and make things happen in an exciting and forward looking
 organisation. You should be outgoing, confident and comfortable with
 speaking to a wide range of audiences and brimming with creative ideas on
 how to communicate science using all the resources of Techniquest

  The Events and Programmes Manager is responsible for the research,
 development and implementation of all events and programmes run for our
 public visitors. You will manage a team of two staff, one full-time and one
 part-time, as well as input to events and programmes from staff in other
 departments. You will also supervise all elements of staff training that
 relate to public programmes. This will include training staff at
 Techniquest's franchises elsewhere in the UK.

 In addition to the responsibility for all aspects of the management of
 public events in the Science Theatre, Planetarium, Discovery Room and
 Laboratory, the successful candidate will have creative responsibility for
 The Hub, Techniquest's IT/temporary exhibition space. You will be working
 with the Operations and Marketing Director and other staff to reimagine the
 possibilities for events and public programmes in Techniquest and will also
 be actively contributing ideas to the current review of Techniquest's
 overall mission and activities.

 You must have a first degree in science and at least three years experience
 of running activities of this kind in a science communication environment.
A
 postgraduate qualification in science communication would also be
desirable.
 You will have a high level of written and verbal communication skills and
an
 ability to work to tight deadlines. The ability to speak Welsh would also
be
 welcome.
