Cheshire West and Chester Council is a place where everyone can Thrive - through our core values of Teamwork, Honesty, Respect, Innovation, Value for Money and Empowerment.



West Cheshire Museums' vision is to inspire our community and visitors to discover, explore and enjoy West Cheshire's rich heritage, culture and history. Learning and collections are at the heart of our service, and the Learning Team plays a key role in delivering on our aims. The role of Learning Assistant (casual) involves delivering a programme of formal and informal learning opportunities in liaison with schools, colleagues and in partnership as appropriate, including special projects. Working with the Learning Officer and other Learning Assistants, successful candidates will help develop resources for exhibitions, galleries and learning sessions as well as assisting with the events programme and lifelong learning opportunities.



We are looking for team players with a flexible and adaptable approach, who are able to communicate effectively with a range of audiences about a variety of subjects. An interest in history, STEM, art or crafts would be beneficial, but is not essential and full training will be provided. Specialist skill sets and interests may be developed and deployed to benefit the service.



This is a casual position with no fixed or guaranteed regular hours, and is subject to school bookings and events. We are looking for Learning Assistants to join both our Chester and Northwich hubs, so please indicate in your application which hub(s) you are interested in.
