Do you have experience working in a public facing role and confidence in performing and presenting content such as shows, demonstrations and workshops? Would you like to inspire futures and reveal the wonder of science to diverse audiences?

About us

At the Science Museum Group, STEM engagement is at the heart of what we do. We inform, inspire and encourage learning on-site, as well as through outreach and online.

Our Explainer team are motivated by this mission; they help to create new, fun informal, learning activities to engage visitors through science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

We are now recruiting for Explainers to join on a 12-month fixed term contract. This will be on a part-time weekend basis, working 15 hours per week, based at the Science Museum in London.

About the role

As an Explainer, you will support the delivery of a highly regarded and diverse public program throughout a busy museum. You will join a diverse, collaborative team and deliver a variety of science shows and demonstrations, lead workshops, and support learning in our interactive galleries for schools, families, adults, and community groups.

Your role is to engage visitors with science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and help them learn through the shows, demonstrations and workshops you’ll be delivering, and your facilitation of exhibits and our collections.

About you

By joining us, you will contribute solid communication skills, be comfortable engaging with people of every age, and value working with diverse visitors. You’ll bring an understanding of what good customer service looks and sounds like and will be able to work well within a team, with the ability to use initiative and seek support to resolve issues.

Don’t feel you meet all the criteria? We welcome you to apply even if your experience doesn’t match directly. With your transferable skills, you could be the right candidate for this, or other opportunities that we have.
