Job Summary
Groundwork South and North Tyneside has been Changing Places and Changing Lives for over 30 years through a variety of environmental, learning, health and skills programmes: North East and Yorkshire – Groundwork
We are a fast paced and diverse charity with an excellent track record in partnership working and high-quality delivery. Through our strategic theme of ‘Enriching Lives through Environment, Culture and Heritage’, we aim to inspire engagement and discovery informed by our past, present and future.
Our Cultural Services, onsite at Jarrow Hall Museum and outreach programmes have significantly developed over the past 3 years, and in April 2023, our organisation became an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation. This provides a great foundation to further develop our offer and deliver our ambitions under our Jarrow Hall Masterplan.
We are looking for a motivated and flexible archaeologist to work with the Service Manager Research, Education and Learning, to reopen the pioneering archaeological excavation at Jarrow to help us tell the missing part of our story about every-day lives. The role is highly-visible which will see you working alongside staff and volunteers to help build a world-class venue; one delivering an ever-more exceptional experience to our broad audience of families, academics, cultural tourists, schoolchildren and more.
You will plan, organise and co-ordinate archaeological workshops, schedules of activity and community engagement events such as the Festival of Archaeology, develop a programme of archaeology on prescription and deliver workshops, visits, and talks with a focus on access for all and inclusivity. The role will include digital documentation and measurement of impact, using online content and social networks as appropriate and will facilitate true community engagement, giving residents and volunteers a voice to come together to plan and deliver activity.
We are looking for someone who is highly motivated, personable, and a strong communicator. To be successful, you will be solution focused, positive, pro-active. An interest in North East history and heritage is essential.
We are committed to the employment and career development of disabled people. To demonstrate our commitment we have been awarded the Disability Confident Scheme Symbol, which is awarded by the Employment Service.
