Hello folks,



Join my digital team as a Digital Engagement Officer using our digital principles<http://www.labs.bristolmuseums.org.uk/digital-principles/> to support the South West



http://jobs.bristol.gov.uk/JobDetails.aspx/25225/Digital_Engagement_Officer/?Ssimple=DIGITAL&SSectors=-1&srecentweeks=-1



Salary: £26,293 - £29,558



You will develop and deliver a strategy of digital development support to the 200+ accredited museums across the region which aligns with the work of the three Major Partner Museums in the South West on behalf of the SWMDP. You will administer the strategic Digital Advisory group which reports to the SWMDP Board and work with key regional and national stakeholders, Arts Council England, the Collections Trust, Association of Independent Museums etc to ensure regional initiatives maximise national opportunities and development support services in the region. The post holder will be responsible for identifying and developing clusters of museums as potential project participants with whom project income is secured to deliver a range of digital audience activities.



The post is funded through the Museum Development programme which is a national initiative funded by Arts Council England’s Renaissance programme that aims to deliver sustainability, resilience and innovation in England’s regional museums. The South West Museum Development programme (SWMD) delivers a range of support services to museums across the region in collaboration with 16 local authorities, which collectively contribute £100,000 per annum, alongside the £1.2 million investment from Arts Council England for the period 2012-15 and £1.3 million for 2015-18.



You will work with the SWMD team of regional officers (Conservation Development Officer and Sustainable Volunteering Officer) and local Museum Development Officers to develop and deliver successful and sustainable Digital Engagement projects.



We are looking for a talented and creative individual to join and small and dedicated team. Successful applicants will have a proven track record in the management and delivery of projects. Experience in developing the use of digital within the context of the cultural sector will be essential alongside the ability to support others to develop digital literacy skills. This is an opportunity to make a real difference and support museums in the region to develop how they think about and use digital media and technology.



This role will be based at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery as part of their Digital Team but will involve regional travel.



For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Victoria Harding, Museum Development South West Programme Manager, from Tuesday to Thursday on 07827 979725.
