Henley on Thames, United Kingdom The River and Rowing Museum Full time

**Welcome to the River & Rowing Museum. It’s great that you’re interested in working with us**

**We are confident in the role the Museum can play. We want to bring the river to life, to create a powerful sense of place, enhance the wellbeing of our communities and support a more sustainable natural environment. If you want to join us in making all this happen, please read on.**

There is enormous potential to use the River Thames as a unifying theme to work with communities, collections, and our riverside location. Together, we can inspire learning, creativity, build participation and encourage active lives.

The Museum itself is a relative youngster, but the collection spans hundreds of thousands of years. Primitive stone tools through to a Relay Torch from the London 2012 Olympics all help engage audiences with the role humans have played in, on and around the river. In the three decades since ‘RRM’ was created, the building and its activities have been shortlisted for and won many different awards. The Museum galleries have evolved and grown too. An immersive ‘Wind in the Willows’ experience embraces the ongoing appeal of Kenneth Grahame’s classic story. Crowdfunding enabled us to create a gallery dedicated to exploring the life and work of local painter and designer John Piper.

Like other cultural destinations around the world, the global coronavirus pandemic has rocked every area of our activity. Our recovery so far is seeing us undertake many things differently through necessity and innovation. We’ve had to make tough decisions about how we use our resources, but have been boosted by a grant award from Arts Council England’s Culture Recovery Fund. We’ve scrutinised our purpose and potential and have ambitious plans to become a truly sustainable and dynamic place with a wide reach.

At the River & Rowing Museum, we’re a small but multi-skilled team with a passion for the difference we can make to the lives of everyone through our building, collections and location. If you’re up for a challenge and committed to the transformative power of our work, join us. We would love to hear from you

The railway station is around five minutes’ walk and there are regular trains to the mainline serving Reading, Didcot, Maidenhead and London (Paddington). There are also buses from Oxford, Reading and High Wycombe. The M4 and M40 motorways are around a half-hour drive away.

**Team and role description**

We aim to perform in an open and honest manner through listening and follow up in all interactions, whilst actively supporting each other’s functions with a can-do attitude, and a keen eye on ways to generate and bring in income.

The departments that make up this team are diverse. From technical maintenance staff, Front of House (FOH) team members who greet and manage the public experience, through to café staff and cleaners, we support all venue hire bookings and set ups, which can range from weddings, large corporate conferences to local community art events or charity meetings. All these roles collaborate closely with our volunteers, who are part of our museum family.
