Project Placement
Casual (for a maximum of 30 days)

This Project Placement will work in our SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Careers for All Programme. You will plan, deliver and assess a set of new online workshops revolving around “hot topics” in the museum and heritage industry. The intention is for the workshops to be informal, and discussion based, allowing those who attend to share opinions openly.

Our Project Placements are a training and development opportunity. We are looking for people who are:
Starting out in heritage, culture or the arts
Looking for a change of career and exploring options in the arts and cultural sector
From a diverse range of backgrounds underrepresented in the arts and cultural sector

What matters most is your passion for the project.

This is one of four Project Placements at Leeds Museums and Galleries in 2023. The funding for Project Placements comes from Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation funding to give people paid experience of working in a heritage/cultural setting, training and support.

Project Placements are a maximum of 30 days to be completed before the end of March 2024. We are open to it being fewer days to help people access the opportunity. Working days and times are flexible and are agreed between the individual and the supervisor.

To find out more, we have a video describing each of the Project Placements and giving tip tops for applications. This can be accessed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBIyX8a_-mE.
