Do you have experience of successfully delivering presentations, performances or demonstrations in an engaging way to a broad range of audiences? Do you want to inspire futures by providing live interpretation in our museum galleries?

About Us

At the Science Museum Group STEM engagement is at the heart of what we do. We inform, inspire and encourage learning on-site, as well as through outreach and online. We ignite curiosity around STEM by assisting discovery through active participation and social interaction. We use the concept of science capital to shape our work and provide us with research-based insight into what influences and shapes people's engagement with, and attitudes towards, science.

The National Science and Media Museum will be reopening in January 2025 as Bradford becomes UK City of Culture 2025.

About the role

Explainers provide live interpretation in the museum galleries for all our visitors. They also deliver a wide-ranging and creative programme of activities and events for diverse audiences including schools, families, adults and community groups. They reveal the wonder of science by telling authentic stories about our collection and facilitating and supporting the learning of children and adults.

Your role is to engage with visitors and help them learn from our exhibits and collection. You will support with and deliver all learning activities inside the Wonderlab Gallery, an interactive space that encourages and inspires our visitors to investigate with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

One of the strengths of our Explainer team is its diversity and we encourage applications from all backgrounds. Our aim at SMG is to build Science Capital in society and help people think science is for them; one of the first steps in this is for people to see individuals like them in front-facing roles like this one.

About you

First of all, you don't need to be a science expert or have any particular qualifications in STEM. We are looking for you to have experience of working in a public-facing role using good customer service and communication skills. You will also be able to deliver presentations, performances or demonstrations.

Crucially, you will have experience of working with and communicating to a broad range of people, especially children and you will have the confidence to learn to perform or present to an audience and the ability to seek and learn from feedback.
