Kettle’s Yard is recruiting a new team of Learning Hosts to support the delivery of our innovative Learning and Community programme. Learning Hosts are friendly, engaging with an interest in creative learning. Learning Hosts welcome our school, college and community groups to the House and gallery as well as participants for events and workshops. They ensure our Learning and Community activities are safe, engaging, accessible and inspiring.

Learning Hosts will work both at our Castle Street location and offsite in community settings where required. No prior knowledge of Kettle’s Yard, its history or collection is necessary. Successful candidates will be given training and will also be expected to learn on the job through research and active engagement with the collection and exhibitions. The Learning Hosts will report to the Community Manager and work as part of the Learning & Community team. They will liaise closely with the Learning and Volunteer Coordinator also.

The role is advertised on a zero-hour basis due to the irregularity of visits, projects and sessions. Hours of work will be agreed and scheduled in advance and potential work can be offered across all days of the week. Frequent weekend work will be required as well as occasional evenings. The role is subject to a DBS check. Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 1 year in the first instance.
