Di Stiff
Surrey History Centre

Foundation for Disabled People charity

to recruit a Heritage project manager, based at Leatherhead, Surrey.
Full details are below and can be found online at http://qef.org.uk/careers/vacancies/heritage-project-manager-leatherhead/
This is an exciting new post in the Fundraising
and Marketing Department of QEF. As part of its 80th birthday celebrations,
the charity is undertaking a substantial heritage project. The post
holder will manage this history project drawing on information found in
our archive collection. The project aims to reveal the rich, social
history of disability particularly in training and the workplace, over
the past 80 years. It will bring our heritage to life in a visual,
educational and interactive display.
You will have experience of developing
archive material into a modern exhibition for a variety of audiences. Also
of liaising with suppliers and co-ordinating events. Experience of
developing an archive of oral histories is desirable. Ideally the post
holder will have an understanding of the social history of people with
disabilities and the ways of creating an accessible and engaging project.

About the Charity
The Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled
People (QEF) is a national disability charity based in Leatherhead, Surrey
which works with over 4,000 disabled children and adults every year. There
is further information on our work with people with disabilities on our
website: qef.org.uk
About the Project
The central focus of the project will be
on the rich archives recently discovered by staff at the QEF. A detailed
scoping exercise has taken place under the direction of Professor David
Turner of Swansea University. The material offers a remarkable insight
into how disabled people in Britain conducted work and training, and what
lives they were set up to lead when they finished at QEF’s college.
The publicity material of the QEF is a
notable case study in the public image of disability and work. A
significant part of this project will be to examine the representation
of disability in publicity material, photography and film. This will form
the basis for a critical analysis of the place of work in the history of
twentieth-century disability.
