You will work across two teams in our Fundraising and Partnerships department - the Philanthropy team and the Trusts, Foundations and Government team.

Within this, you will play a key part in the successful delivery of the Railway Museum's Patrons programme. You will focus on developing and implementing donor communication materials, delivering a programme of special events, as well as supporting the Philanthropy team in managing their donor and prospect portfolios.

You will also support the work of the Trusts, Foundations and Government team in stewarding a wide range of funders and securing further support for SMG's existing programme of work across the group of museums.

This 12-month contract can be a great boost for your career, as you will have the opportunity to take as much as you put in. You'll learn the fundamentals of philanthropic and trust fundraising with a focus on how to build great donor relationships. You will also finesse your time management, communication across a range of platforms, and administrative skills.

We offer this role on a hybrid basis, with every Monday and one other day of your choosing in the office.

Salary: £24,000 - £27,500 per annum, depending on experience

About you
Fundraising knowledge or experience is not essential -instead, the skills and attributes you can bring will be of our upmost interest.

You may have built your administration, teamworking and customer service skills in paid work, education, or volunteering in the past, or maybe you have started to work but are ready to try something new and don't know where to start.

As a role focused on your professional development, you will be willing to learn new skills and try new ways of working to support the teams' work. You will enjoy working with people, meeting new people, and building relationships with others who share the ambitions of SMG.

As the role includes creating communications for donors and prospects, you will have great writing skills, able to write for a variety of audiences and communicating important information effectively. You will also have a high attention to detail and an organised approach to your work.

Don't feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn't match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.

Explainer

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.

We are now recruiting for Explainers to join our Learning Team based at the National Railway Museum in York. There are both full-time (36 hours per week) and part-time (18 hours per week) roles available and shifts will be on a 4-week rolling rota which includes regular weekend working.

About the role

As an Explainer you will provide live interpretation in the museum galleries for all our visitors. You will deliver a wide-ranging and creative programme of activities and events for diverse audiences including schools, families, adults and community groups. You will 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).

We provide opportunities for you to develop your skills through on-the-job training programmes in order to support you in delivering high quality learning experiences that are memorable and engaging for our large and diverse audiences.

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.
