Positions at National Maritime Museum

Head of Paper Conservation
Head of Object Conservation
National Maritime Museum

It's an exciting time to join the National Maritime Museum. Not
least because we're driving through a range of high-profile
programmes including the new Sammy Ofer Wing, scheduled to open in
2012, but also because you will enjoy great autonomy. So you will
definitely need a focused strategic vision, as well as the ability
to lead teams and influence thinking at all levels.

Head of Paper Conservation
UKP30,000 - UKP37,000

    With a busy programme of exhibitions planned, we need you to
    take responsibility for looking after our extensive paper-based
    collections (close to three million items). You'll also work
    with our storage management team to develop a new archive store.
    Strong people and project management skills are important, along
    with proven experience in paper conservation.

Head of Object Conservation
UKP30,000 - UKP37,000

    You'll be responsible for looking after our world-renowned 3-D
    object collections--including, scientific instruments, ship
    models, flags, furniture, sculptures,  and costumes. A
    background in conservation management and a specialist knowledge
    of at least one of the above areas are both essential, plus
    experience of managing the handling of hazardous materials. A
    good understanding of risk management is also important.
