The National Trust is looking for a new Director of Curation and Experience. The idea, and I think it's a good one, is to elevate a curatorial voice to the board level of the Trust. The job description is full of the usual buzzwords about 'interpretation', but I was reassured to see that one of the criteria is; you will be recognised as an expert'. I hope this means an expert in actual historical objects, rather than beanbags.
The salary is £120,000. Closing date 1st December. More details here.
