    About Watford Borough Council

    Watford is a vibrant urban borough located in Southwest Hertfordshire, boasting excellent transport links with mainline connections to London. As the hub of a wider sub-region, Watford serves a population of approximately 500,000 people within a 20-minute travel radius.

    Positioned within the London commuter belt, Watford benefits from the capital's dynamic economic influence, contributing to a strong and resilient local economy.

    The borough offers a unique blend of traditional market town charm and modern urban energy big enough to be ambitious, yet small enough for individuals to make a real impact. Watford is also one of the few local authorities with a directly elected mayor, ensuring consistent leadership and a clear strategic vision.

    Our values are more than just words—they are the foundation of our culture. Developed collaboratively by our team, they reflect the pride we take in our work, what drives us, and how we think, act, and engage with our community.

    What we are looking for

    A motivated and experienced teacher/facilitator to develop and deliver a high-quality programme of learning and engagement activities.

    The Museum of Watford is in the process of being re-designed moving to Watford Town Hall, this role will be responsible for bringing the new museum to life for a range of audiences through a vibrant, inclusive and innovative formal and informal learning offer. The post will work with the Public Programmes and Collections Manager to and an Education Consultant to design the Museum's core offer for schools (see Appendix for more information about the Consultant role) and will be responsible for the administration and delivery of this programme. The successful candidate will design and deliver a rich programme of informal learning opportunities that contributes to the museum's vision and bring our collection and galleries to life for a broad range of audiences. The post holder will be responsible for recruiting and training other temporary staff and volunteers as necessary.

    About our redevelopment

    Our Town Hall Quarter programme aims to revitalise the Museum of Watford as part of a wider flagship scheme to regenerate Watford town centre. But this project is about much more than physical regeneration: we aim to transform our Town Hall into the beating heart of our community, with a modern museum and community spaces at its core. Our bold, ambitious plan creates a cultural space to tell our stories, connect our communities and inspire our journeys ahead. Exhibits will combine treasures dating back to the Bronze Age, with stories of the Windrush Generation and present-day icons. It's about creating a space not just for storytelling, but one that sparks conversation and connection, with additional spaces for work and leisure. With the Museum of Watford in its new home, we're reimagining what regeneration can really mean for communities, to breathe renewed energy and a sense of pride and purpose into the heart of our town, for everyone.

    The redevelopment is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to National Lottery players.

    We would love to hear from candidates inspired by this unique opportunity with the ambition, desire and experience to take our museum service and our organisational values forwards.
