Museum Community Engagement Professional

Littlehampton Museum has recently been awarded an ‘Unlocking Collections’ grant from the National Lottery for ‘Project Time Machine.’ This funding will enable the Museum to learn how to make the best use of their collections and better engage their community, placing them at the heart of future Museum planning.  Project Time Machine will start with an extensive community consultation, enabling the Museum to lay the foundations for its future development.

Littlehampton Museum is looking for an experienced professional to plan, create, manage and present the results of:

  1. A community survey: To be circulated to as many of our residents as possible via our community partners, the town council’s e-magazine, social media, and advertising.
  2. Up to ten focus groups: Participants should be identified and invited from our 21 confirmed community partner groups.

We require a professional with experience of similar projects.  It is essential that they have some experience of working with diverse community groups, including those with different access needs.
