The Transatlantic Slavery and Legacies in Museums Forum was created by National Museums Liverpool in 2021 as a national partnership consortium with Black Cultural Archives, Bristol Museums, Glasgow Museums, Hull Museums and the Museum of London in response to public demand and a desire from the museum sector to review how we treat transatlantic slavery and its legacies in museums.
Based at National Museums Liverpool, this new role is key for the successful delivery of an exciting three-year programme funded by Arts Council England centred around network development, a programme of events and projects to share best practice, develop skills and help combat ongoing racism and bias. The role will be fundamental to ensure the future growth and long-term sustainability of the Forum.
Reporting to the Head of Partnerships & Strategic Relations, the Project Coordinator will be responsible for the development and delivery of a programme of activity and ensuring the smooth running of day-to-day operations of the Forum. The role requires a high level of self-management and will entail a varied cross-section of work from leading event planning and delivery, membership development, communications, project management and administration. It will also mean holding up the mission of the forum to promote anti-racist practice and build an inclusive, diverse, and supportive network where members feel valued and contribute to the life of the Forum.
The Project Coordinator will have the chance to be part of National Museums Liverpool whilst engaging with a diverse network of members across the UK.
