West Yorkshire, United Kingdom HOLOCAUST CENTRE NORTH Full time

Head of Communities (permanent, 0.8 FTE)

We are seeking a dynamic, inspiring, caring and trusted individual to make Holocaust Centre North and our projects more inclusive, imaginative and accessible. The Head of Communities will lead our new flagship initiative 'The Rudi Project'. The programme will support our vision of Holocaust Centre North as a bold and pioneering space to reflect on 'a global history through local stories' from the North of England.

Holocaust Centre North promotes education on the Holocaust and post-Holocaust issues, including building new lives in the North of England and intergenerational memory and trauma. Our work across collections, learning, artistic research and survivor welfare seeks to foster a culture of care and promotes awareness about the relevance of Holocaust history in the present. We work closely with refugees of Nazi persecution, their families and carers, artistic practitioners, researchers and schools to create a space for nuanced dialogue about the ongoing relevance of the Holocaust. We strive to provide opportunities for reflection on the role that this dark chapter of our shared history plays in the now and to use contemporary critical frameworks to engage audiences.

We are now seeking to expand our current work to reach communities that had previously been excluded, underrepresented, and/or marginalised in our work, also involving them in the museum itself. We are looking for an individual with experience in community engagement and development, particularly through the lens of archive practice and artistic responses to heritage collections.

Job Description

  • To work closely with the Director to support the delivery of the organisational strategy through community engagement. This will include:
  • Design and deliver pilot activities to engage communities with our existing initiatives across commemoration, artistic responses to collections and archives.
  • To manage Holocaust Centre North's Volunteer Programme

    The Rudi Project

    Funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, The Rudi Project aims to develop strong partnerships with local communities that we don't yet engage with, involving them as central participants within the fabric of our work. Through a programme of workshops, events, publications and artist residencies, we will use co-production to pose critical questions: how do we engender reflections on the Holocaust's legacies in communities that feel alienated from this history? How do we work with local communities that may feel divided due to the repercussions of current international conflict? How can we commemorate the Holocaust whilst also acknowledging participants' silent testimonies and inherent experiences in an ever-shifting present?

    This initiative represents the legacy of our recent rebrand, which delivered a re-imagined Holocaust Centre North with a unique mandate to articulate 'a global history through local stories' and to foster 'a culture of care' when engaging with traumatic narratives. Building on these foundations, The Rudi Project will enable communities to guide us in the design of sustainable and long-term practices to connect with people, especially those who also live their lives after trauma, loss, discrimination, persecution and isolation. In the process, the project will further enhance our resilience and sustainability by extending the reach of existing investment, and resources and bringing more voices around our table.
