Hi Clare

 

This is really good news. I might put my CV forward, once I’ve had a chat with my line manager.

 

Can you tell me a bit more about the specific areas the trainees will cover. Is it going to be mostly curatorial in focus or more conservation orientated if you see what I mean?

 

Perhaps I’ll give you a call next week.

Best, Jo

 

 

Dear All,

 

As part of a recently successful HLF “Skills for the Future” funding award, Renaissance West Midlands, Renaissance North West, Leeds Museums and Galleries, the Natural History Museum and the Natural Sciences Collections Association (NatSCA) are looking for four to eight mentors for their curatorial training programme. Starting sometime in December, curatorial trainees will be taken on for a year in the north west, Leeds and the west midlands. The project will be repeated for a the second year (please see details below). Each will be allocated a mentor who will have the following duties:

 

• Visit trainee at least four times a year.
• Attend training for this project (one day at the end of October/beginning of November in Birmingham).
• Be on hand to answer trainee’s queries and help with any problems.
• Commit to 10 days work a year in all.

 

All mentors will have their transport and training paid for by Renaissance West Midlands (as the fund-holding body) and it is hoped any mentor would see this as important to their own continuing professional development.

 

If you are interested in applying to become a mentor, please send me a short CV by the end of September. Successful applicants will be informed by the middle of October.
