The Brontë Society in Haworth seeks a Learning Officer to lead on the development and delivery of the Brontë Parsonage Museum learning programmes and engagement with young people.
It’s an exciting time to join the Brontë Society as we prepare to celebrate the Museum’s centenary in 2028.
Haworth Parsonage is the former home of the Brontë family and the place where the world-famous novels Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall were written. As the Brontë Parsonage Museum, it houses the world’s largest collection of Brontë artefacts and welcomes over 70,000 visitors of all ages and backgrounds from all over the world each year. We are proud to be an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation and one of the top must-see destinations in Yorkshire.
Young people and children are a key focus of our museum offer. Our well-established learning programme has been awarded the Sandford Award by the Heritage Education Trust and is praised by teachers. We experience a high demand for school visits across the year, engaging almost 4000 pupils and students through our 2025-26 programme of workshop and talks.
During the holidays, our Learning Officer works with artists to present a series of creative workshops for families and devises trails and other activities to engage and stimulate our younger visitors.
Reporting to the Director, the postholder will be responsible for developing and delivering Brontë-inspired talks and workshops for schools and other groups, ensuring their alignment with the curriculum and excellence. The Learning Officer will also work closely with colleagues to remove barriers to access and develop opportunities for creative engagement.
This role is based at the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, West Yorkshire, and is not suitable for remote working.
