This is an exciting opportunity to join People’s History Museum (PHM) at a time of reflection and change, as the museum develops new ways of working for the future.
PHM is delivering a bold project to redevelop its Learning Programme, with a vision focused on empowerment and social change. The role is in the Learning Team, which is part of the wider Programme & Engagement Team. Over the last six years, the Programme & Engagement Team has delivered a ground-breaking programme of co-curated activity; 2017 explored the fight for LGBT+ rights, commemorating fifty years since the Sexual Offences Act partially decriminalised homosexuality in England and Wales, 2018 looked at representation, marking 100 years since the first women and all men won the right to vote in Britain, in 2019 the focus was on protest to mark the bicentenary of the Peterloo Massacre in Manchester, the 2020-2021 programme explored the theme of migration, and the programme for 2022-2024 explores disabled people’s rights and activism.
Every year, the team engages participants and visitors through a programme of workshops, events and activities. The museum’s Learning Programme is integral to the team’s work, ensuring a wide range of audiences can meaningfully engage with PHM’s programme themes and our permanent collection.
