Hestercombe is a small but ambitious visitor attraction near Taunton, Somerset. Over the past 30 years, the 50 acre site has been largely restored, and offers close to 100,000 visitors per year a chance to learn, explore and relax in its four period gardens.
The Curator/Programming Manager will work with a small and busy team on the realisation of projects inspired by Hestercombe's Collections, Archives and Landscapes. As a member of the Collection and Creative team, the Curator/Programming Manager will contribute ideas to creating an ambitious programme of temporary exhibitions and commissions, including the production of materials to accompany these events.
The postholder will be expected to liaise with other internal departments and with the wider museum, archive and creative/heritage sector. The Curator/Programming Manager will effectively work with creatives, lenders and institutions. The role will include the organisation of transport and insurance; registrarial duties; and the production of supporting materials.
We are passionate about bringing the voices of families, young people and communities into the heart of what we do now and in the future.
