The successful candidate for the role will contribute to the care and management of the Brighton & Hove Museums collections and will include an opportunity to share their learning through a collections focussed engagement project. Your work programme will focus on work to improve the storage and documentation of the World Cultures collections, as well as working on Brighton & Hove Museum’s collections management software to decolonise catalogue records.
