Are you an experienced museum or heritage professional with a passion for collections management and preserving significant cultural assets?

We are seeking a Project Curator to join our Collections team on a 24-month fixed-term contract. This is a hands-on role focused on the rationalisation of the Museum’s sign collection in line with recognised museum sector standards and best practice.

Working within a collaborative collections team, you will play a key role in auditing and reviewing the sign collection, assessing documentation, making disposal recommendations to the LTM Board and completing disposal actions. You will manage the work of two volunteers on the project as well as work on the reorganisation and display of the sign store. You will also support colleagues in the Communities and Participation team deliver short creative engagement courses, paid placements, community curated displays and the co-production of object interpretation.

As Project Curator, you will:

Work directly with collection objects and associated documentation.
Deliver collections management activities in accordance with established policies, procedures and best practice.
Undertake disposals (and some acquisitions) in accordance with established policies, procedures and best practice.
Support the management and development of the sign collection.
Develop the care and storage of the sign collection.
Maintain accurate and auditable collection records.
Work across teams and departments, collaborating with colleagues, stakeholders and community partners.
Contribute to projects that improve public access, engagement and understanding of the collection.

About You

We're looking for a proactive and highly organised professional who can bring both technical expertise and a methodical approach to collections work.

You will have:

Experience working within a museum, heritage or collections-based environment.
Proven experience of collections management and documentation.
Knowledge of museum sector standards and best practice, including SPECTRUM procedures.
Experience working with disposals and acquisitions
Experience using collections databases or information management systems.
Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
The ability to work independently while building effective relationships across teams.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

What You'll Bring

A methodical and structured approach to collections management.
Confidence handling and working directly with historic objects.
A commitment to high professional standards and continuous improvement.
A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working with a wide range of colleagues and stakeholders.

If you're passionate about collections management and want to help preserve and share the story of London's transport heritage through one of the UK's most distinctive sign collections, we'd love to hear from you.
