Job Opportunity - Curating for Change
Consultant Evaluator
The Post
Screen South, through its pioneering Accentuate Programme, is seeking to recruit an experienced evaluator to monitor progress throughout delivery of their project, Curating for Change.
The Consultant Evaluator will be experienced in evaluating large scale multi partner projects, working with D/deaf and disabled people, working with a range of stakeholders across the voluntary sector, and understanding the nature of a heritage project which seeks to tackle change within the workplace.
Background to Curating for Change
Funded by National Lottery Heritage Fund, the ground-breaking Curating for Change, tackles the serious under-representation of D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in museum workforces, collections, interpretation and audiences. D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent Curatorial Fellows and Trainees will gain the experience, training and qualifications they need to kick start or progress their curatorial careers, ensuring that those with lived experience of disability are at the heart of museum research and interpretation. The findings and lessons from the project will be shared with the museum and heritage sector more widely, aiming to bring about a sea-change in the way museums work, in terms of D/deaf and disability representation.
