About us
Royal Museums Greenwich is a collection of diverse historical sites. The sites are the National Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark, the Royal Observatory, and the Queen’s House. Each of these sites has a unique identity and a common purpose to serve our communities, through sharing our collections and expertise. We are a place to explore the sea, space, art and history, and our strategy ‘Charting Our Course’ puts people at the core of its success.
The Role
We are looking for an energetic individual to oversee the delivery of our extensive award‑winning family programme and two of our flagship festivals, Diwali and Lunar New Year. You will provide the operational oversight to ensure that our holiday programmes for families, term‑time activities, targeted group work and festivals are delivered seamlessly, giving our visitors a reason to return time and time again. You will also nurture relationships with key internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that audience voice is embedded into everything we do.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of delivering high‑profile programming at pace, working with audiences to co‑create programmes and a great understanding of families. You will be accomplished in problem solving, with great communication and influencing skills. Effective time and budget management skills are also required. This role involves line management of one member of staff and relationship management with a large number of freelancers, so line‑management experience is a must. No two days are the same in this role – you must be comfortable in adapting to changing circumstances and able to deliver against tight deadlines.
Working across the National Maritime Museum, Cutty Sark and Queen’s House, our family programme and festivals are high‑profile and high‑impact, making this role an exciting opportunity to deliver on flagship programmes for our communities.
This is a fixed‑term, part‑time role for 12 months, in Band 4 – Senior Specialists. Core hours of work will be 21 per week, flexibly arranged to suit the candidate and the Museum.
Salary: £24,500 pro rata (£42,000 FTE)
Visa sponsorship: we do not sponsor visas.
Benefits
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A generous pension scheme plus life cover
- 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 days after 1 year) plus bank holidays
- 40% discount in our cafés and 30% discount in our shops
- Interest‑free loans including season/travel tickets, bike and bike equipment, gym or leisure membership and individual learning
- Training opportunities and continuous performance management reviews to support personal and career development
- NMDC reciprocal agreement for free admissions to other museums and galleries’ paid exhibitions
- Flexible working options

Diversity and inclusion are integral to our work at Royal Museums Greenwich, as we are a museum for everyone. We want to foster a spirit of inclusion, collaborative working, innovation, and valuing people as individuals whose lives have been shaped by different experiences. Therefore, we welcome applications from everyone.
We actively work with the Disability Confident scheme and ask that you let us know if there are any reasonable adjustments you need or anything you would like us to know during the interview process, which may include being provided with the interview questions in advance, requiring a step‑free interview space, if you are eye‑contact avoidant, or having the interview questions in a written format or additional time in timed tests, interviews or other assessment activities.
