The principal purpose of this role will be to provide organisational and secretarial support for the Curator & Head of Learning, and thereby contribute to the effective running of the Curatorial and Learning Department.

The post-holder will also be responsible for undertaking a new digitisation project, funded by the Friends of the National Libraries, which will fully digitise the Wordsworth Trust’s Bewick collection.  It is envisaged that this project will take 6 months to complete (beginning as soon as possible after appointment) and 3 out of 5 days a week of the post-holder’s time will be dedicated to this. After the project is completed, this will become a full time administrative role.

While this is an administrative role, it does offer the opportunity to experience the running of a busy Collections & Learning Team. This is an exciting time to join the Wordsworth Trust as we develop and deliver our Heritage Lottery Funded project ‘Reimagining Wordsworth’ and seek a continuation of our major Arts Council funding.
