• Hours: 21 hours per week, with flexible scheduling to include some weekends and evenings
• Location: Stourbridge Glass Museum & Himley Hall (for stored collections)
• Reporting to: Museum Director
• Application Deadline: Tuesday 3rd June About the Role This is an exciting opportunity to join Stourbridge Glass Museum at a pivotal moment in its journey. We’ve recently unveiled a brand new, state-of-the-art collections storeroom – and it’s not just for our treasured glass – it’s also where you’ll have your office! We are the number one visitor attraction in Stourbridge (and there’s lots of cool stuff to do here!). We’re on the lookout for someone with excellent curatorial skills and a passion for engaging people in the stories behind the glass. You’ll play a key role in delivering our exhibitions and curatorial programme, managing objects both on-site and in storage, and helping us shape the future of this dynamic and growing museum. This role will suit someone who’s as comfortable handling 18th-century goblets as they are hosting a community co-curation session, or giving a tour.

• Contribute hands-on to permanent and temporary exhibitions: from research to packing, from object lists to layout
• Support Accreditation and work towards gaining Designation status for the collection
• Ensure Dudley MBC loan collections and any other loans are fully documented, insured, and properly cared for
• Regularly monitor and refresh displays, manage event logistics, and curate new installations
• Research the collection to identify key themes and untold stories, and work with the community to bring them to life • Be an enthusiastic ambassador for SGM within the local area and heritage networks
• Assist with fundraising, including income from exhibitions and grant writing • Supervise external contractors, artists, and suppliers
• Provide progress reports and maintain accurate records for trustees and funders Page | 1
