Learning & Access Curator

We are looking for a Learning & Access Curator to join us on a full-time contract until October 2027. You’ll be working on the transformation project of the People’s Palace and Winter Gardens.

As a Learning & Access Curator, you’ll be joining our Glasgow Life Museums team working on the exciting transformation project of the People’s Palace and Winter Gardens. The project will develop and create a community-led museum to become one of the world’s most socially engaged and internationally significant local museums. With Glasgow’s social history at its heart, we will reintegrate the glasshouse and museum to create a dynamic museum offer with new flexible space and facilities that meet audience needs. The building will be restored, will be more environmentally sustainable, and help put the east end of Glasgow more on the tourist map.

Our museums are committed to making sure people experience our world-class collections and have the chance to engage with our rich heritage. The cultural programmes we provide bring value to people’s lives. Read more on our website: Glasgow Life Museums.
