The Museum of Cannock Chase is looking to appoint a freelance volunteer management consultant to work with the museum team for nine months to develop a volunteering programme for young people. This project is a new initiative and is funded by Association of Independent Museums as part of the Connected Communities programme. AIM Connected Communities is funded by DCMS Know Your Neighbourhood Fund through Arts Council England.
This is an exciting time for the museum, and we are looking for someone with experience of volunteer management and of setting up and delivering volunteer programmes for young people.
Building on the museum’s current volunteering opportunities developed through its current NLHF-funded project, Connecting Collections, which aims to widen access to the museum collections, we have identified a need to create a strong, structured framework for volunteering for young people, to gain skills and workplace experience, as well as building resilience and confidence.
We are keen to provide innovative and exciting opportunities for young people and to ensure the museum has clear and effective volunteer management processes to enable this work to continue.
The consultant must be enthusiastic, approachable and highly organised with a track record of delivering similar projects and a demonstrable understanding of young people as volunteers, their motivations and needs.
We are anticipating this role will deliver approximately 60 days over a nine-month period, with 6 months at 2 days per week and the final three months at 1 day per week. This may be subject to change, depending on how the project develops.
