<div class="mds-edited-text mds-font-body-copy-bulk"><p>Position - CEO - Thackray Museum of Science<br />Location - Leeds<br />Salary - £65K</p><p>The Thackray Museum of Medicine is the UK's largest independent medical museum. Opened in Leeds in 1997, the museum houses a unique and internationally significant collection of medical history.Having recently completed a four-million-pound redevelopment, visitors can now explore 11 new galleries housing a rich collection of over 50,000 objects and some 23,000 written works covering all aspects of the history of medicine.<br />The museum has been instrumental in championing everything from Early Years STEM learning, through GCSE History of Medicine to postgraduate research. We are a unique part of Leeds City Region's cultural and heritage offer, providing a destination for visitors, enhancing local amenities and providing added economic value.<br />Having been short-listed for the Arts Fund Museum of the Year in 2021, with a brand that is fast gathering recognition among the public, media, and stakeholders, now is a fantastic opportunity to lead the museum into the future as our new CEO. <br />Reporting to the Board of Trustees, we are now seeking an exceptional candidate to join us as our CEO and lead the Museum in its next chapter. We are seeking a leader who will lead and inspire our staff and volunteers and who can continue to step outside the constraints of a small independent museum and position its unique brand in a way that tells compelling stories, captures public imagination, and drives funding and commercial opportunities. <br />The ideal candidate will have a deep commitment to inclusive practice and the networking instincts and passion for creative collaboration to imbue it into all aspects of the museum's work. You will have a balance of creative and strategic mindsets, experience of successfully engaging diverse audiences, and a deep commitment to the values and ethos of the Museum. You may well not be a subject-matter expert but you will have a passionate understanding of how medicine and healthcare touches people's lives, and how a cultural organisation can become an asset for the local community to grow resilience, wellbeing, and become a better place to live. In addition to this, candidates should bring an international outlook and an understanding of public cultural organisations, both within the UK and globally.<br />The Museum is passionate about the enormous benefits of a diverse organisation. We actively encourage people from a variety of backgrounds with different experiences, skills, and stories to join us and influence and develop our working practice.</p><p>Charity People is acting as an employment agency advisor to Thackray Museum of Medicine on this appointment.</p><p>For further information about the role, including details about how to apply, please visit https://thackraymuseum.co.uk/chief-executive-officer-recruitment-information.</p><p>Applications should be received by noon on Monday 19th September 2022</p><img src="https://counter.adcourier.com/dGlrdS4xNDc1OS40MzlAY2hhcml0eXBlb3BsZS5hcGxpdHJhay5jb20.gif" rel="no-follow" />
