Job Description

Project Name: 40 Years of HIV Activism in Greater Manchester

Commissioning Organisation: George House Trust

Contract Duration: October 2024 – July 2025

Contract Value: £8,000 + VAT [minimum 20 days between October 2024 and July 2025]

Contract Type: Contractor, engaged on a ‘contract for services’ basis

Location: Greater Manchester

George House Trust turns 40 in 2025 and we want to tell the story of HIV and the associated activism, heroism, passion and loss. The story of HIV in Manchester, or even a broader Northern perspective, has had limited exposure, and we want to change that. We also hold an important collection of archive material.

We have received funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund to deliver a project to:

  • Preserve the archive material and make it more accessible.
  • Deliver an exhibition and programme of events that focus on the organisation’s history, the HIV story in Manchester and the North West, and celebrating the progress made.

The first part of the project focuses on cataloguing our archive and undertaking an oral history project with the help of volunteers in 2024. The second part of the project focuses on the delivery of the exhibition and events programme during 2025.

We require a Freelance Curator to work with the Project Lead to develop the exhibition and associated activities, which will be held at Manchester Central Library. The Freelance Curator will report to the Project Lead and be contracted to work a minimum of 20 days between October 2024 and July 2025.

If you have any questions about this freelance contract opportunity, please contact by an email.

The closing date for applications for this freelance contract is 27th September 2024 at 5pm. 

Interviews will be held at George House Trust w/c 7th October 2024.
