Hi All,
Please pass this on to any who might be interested: http://postalheritage.org.uk/page/placements
With funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, and in partnership with the British Museum, The British Postal Museum and Archive is currently looking to recruit a trainee to join its team on an 18 month paid training programme.
The purpose of this programme is to equip trainees with necessary skills and knowledge to work in the museum sector so we don’t expect you to have any previous experience. The programme will also support trainees to think about longer-term career opportunities, and enable them to gain real experience to refer to in future job applications.
Please note this programme is geared towards those below the undergraduate level. We are particularly keen to hear from people familiar with our local area of Camden and Islington.
We want to recruit the people who stand to benefit the most from the programme. If you already have extensive experience of working in a museum (upwards of three months, full time or equivalent, either paid or unpaid) or have a postgraduate qualification in a related area then unfortunately you are not eligible to apply. For more details and an application pack please visit http://postalheritage.org.uk/page/placements
Thanks
Emma
