Jobs

We are OnFife and as Fife’s largest cultural organisation we specialise in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up and imaginations run wild. We work with a huge range of partners, artists and creatives and our spaces are some of Fife’s favourite places. An ambitious leadership-oriented charity, we’re built on strong values, and those values make us who we are – Fearless, Inviting, Fair and Exciting.

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Museum Collections team due to the retirement of the existing postholder. This full time post plays an essential role in assisting Curators with looking after, and making accessible, a wide-ranging collection of over 115,000 objects.

This role is based at the Collections Centre in Glenrothes, however you will also work frequently at our other venues across Fife, including Kirkcaldy Galleries, Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries and St Andrews Museum. Collections management responsibilities include assisting with cataloguing on EMu, storage, photography and preventative conservation.

High quality customer service is required for enquiries online and in person. This includes showing objects to visitors at the Collections Centre and helping Curators with groups visits and volunteers. The postholder will also assist Curators with objects selected for displays and exhibitions.

The postholder will also assist colleagues in the Exhibitions and Archives & Local Studies teams as well as other staff across OnFife when relevant.
