Director
The Buckinghamshire County Museum Trust
Salary Package: Competitive
Location: Aylesbury
The Buckinghamshire County Museum Trust is seeking to appoint its first Director to lead and manage the Bucks County Museum organisation as it becomes independent of Local Authority control from the beginning of December 2013. A fine example of a regional museum, with a collection of national significance, Bucks Museum and Art Gallery, which also includes the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery, has 130,000 items in its Collection, collected over a period of 150 years and attracts over 100,000 visitors a year with an income approaching £1m.
The new Director will have a crucial role to play in shaping the Bucks County Museum Trust for the next decade. Working with the Board and paying attention to the Trust’s key stakeholders, they will establish the vision and financial sustainability for the Trust going forward. Building on the success which the organisation currently enjoys, the new Director will ensure that the Trust is recognised as a model of best practice in creative regional museum management.

| Required Skills: |
In making this appointment, the Trustees, working in collaboration with Buckinghamshire County Council, seek an experienced manager, ideally from the Museum or broader cultural sector, who can bring artistic vision as well as sound people and financial management skills to an organisation in change; someone who is capable of dealing with the commercial and other challenges which a stand-alone environment brings. To qualify for this role, you will have:
• A strong commitment to the visitor experience and to public engagement with the Museum’s collections and expertise
• Experience of financial planning and performance delivery
• A track record of fundraising from both public and private sources and
• Excellent communication and influencing skills.
This is an exciting opportunity for a suitably qualified leader to stamp their mark on a new, independent chapter in the Bucks County Museum and Art Gallery’s development. |
