ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you committed to seeking excellence, creativity and innovation? Do GSC’s mission and values excite you? Do you want to work in a positive, vibrant and collaborative environment?

We are recruiting for a Science Communicator to deliver science engagement for our audiences across all 3 floors of our Science Galleries supporting our weekend operations. Our Science Galleries are home to a wide range of interactive exhibits, and are a fun and active environment full of creativity, curiosity, and learning.

A key aspect of this role is to engage visitors, making them feel safe and welcome, and to communicate scientific concepts accurately, asking questions related to exhibits, provoking discussion, explaining scientific concepts, and making links to visitors’ everyday experiences whilst providing 5-star customer service.

You will be motivated to inspire and challenge others with science, have a passion for learning, and experience of working with the public, children and community groups. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and enjoy working with people, and you will be inspired by our mission and share our company values. This contract is to cover our busy weekend periods and therefore you will also be available to work Saturdays and Sundays.

If this sounds like you then we would love you to get in touch!
