About Us

We are a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. We use the Museum's unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today. We care for more than 80 million objects spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually and 16 million visits to our website.

Today the Museum is more relevant and influential than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.

We employ 1100 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create advocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world.

Diversity and inclusion matter to us.

Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment.

We know we have more to do, but we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.

About the role

This exciting role sits within our Exhibitions and Galleries team and requires creativity, teamwork, excellent communication skills and attention to detail.

As an Interpretation Developer you will be responsible for researching and developing the Natural History Museum’s exhibitions and displays. You will develop narratives and interpretation approaches, write and edit exhibition text, and work closely with Museum scientists to tell accurate and inspiring stories about the natural world.

Using an audience-informed approach and knowledge of best practices in interpretation, you will shape key messages and learning outcomes, aligning them with the Natural History Museum’s mission to create advocates for the planet. You will use interpretation methods that engage target audiences – from text to hands-on exhibits, film and illustration – ensuring that our exhibitions are accessible, inspiring, informative and suited to our audiences’ needs.

About you

You are a highly committed individual, experienced in researching, developing and delivering content and interpretation in a museum, gallery, heritage site or a similar environment.

You are an excellent writer with a good understanding of the exhibition development and design process and are accustomed to using collections to tell compelling stories and communicate messages. You can also adjust content to suit the needs of different audiences, with an understanding of how to use audience research to inform how to best engage different audiences.

Thriving at the Museum: the way we work

We are proud to work at the Museum and have identified the qualities we all need to embody to reach our shared ambition. This sits alongside the Museum’s values and forms the framework for the way we work.

What we offer

27.5 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays (full time equivalent)
Generous defined contribution Natural History Museum Pension Scheme (employer contribution 4 - 10%)
Season ticket, bicycle and rental loan
Life insurance
Free admission to our exhibitions and many other paid exhibitions at museums, galleries and institutions across London and the UK.
Staff discount at our Museum shops and cafes
We offer a wide variety of training initiatives and opportunities to build skills. Investing in staff development is important to us, and we are ambitious about helping staff to grow and fulfil their potential.
Affordable membership to the Civil Service Sports Council which offers a range of benefits including an extensive list of special offers and reduced entry fees at a selection of cinema chains, theme parks, theatres, retailers and supermarkets. It also provides entry to up to 300 English Heritage sites and other national treasures. For more details, visit https://www.cssc.co.uk
Membership to our Sports and Social Association (for a small fee), which includes access to our in-house gym and clubs such as football, softball, table tennis and tennis and classes in Middle Eastern dance, yoga and Tai Chi

Hybrid working

We are working towards a vision where both people and planet thrive, and nothing gives a greater connection with this, than seeing first-hand, the visitors, scientific research and collections that all of our work is inspired by and working side by side with the teams delivering the visitor experience and events. We also recognise the benefits and flexibility that hybrid working brings. We operate a hybrid working model that requires regular, weekly attendance for this role, with the precise pattern of days on site and worked from home to be agreed with your manager.

How to apply

Please note that as part of our commitment to anonymised shortlisting, panels do not view CVs during the recruitment process. If you choose to upload your CV, our system will automatically pull information from your CV into our application form. We advise you to double-check your application form data before submitting as the tool may interpret CVs differently.

We’re delighted that many of our vacancies attract a high level of interest. To ensure that every application receives the time and careful consideration it deserves, we closely monitor the number of applications we receive. In some cases, where interest is particularly high, we may close a vacancy to new applications ahead of the advertised closing date. Taking this approach helps us manage the process efficiently while maintaining a fair and thorough shortlisting process for all candidates. We therefore encourage early applications where possible.

Closing date: 23:59 on 21 August 2026

Interviews expected: 7th and 8th September 2026.

Please note that this role does not qualify for Museum sponsorship so the successful postholder will need to have a valid right to work in the UK at the point of offer.
