Help reinterpret Wales’s national collections through the lens of homelessness

As Project Coordinator, you will lead the day-to-day delivery of The Esmee Fairbairn Communities & Collections Funded 'Unhoused' partnership project between The Wallich and Amgueddfa Cymru / National Museum Wales, helping to address the under-representation of homelessness within the heritage and museum sectors.

We are looking for a highly organised, collaborative co-ordinator who can build trusted relationships and work in a creative way. You will work closely with the Lived Experience Curator, the Lived Experience Group, project participants and colleagues across both organisations, creating the conditions for genuine co-production and equitable decision-making.

You will support people to explore and reinterpret collections, develop curatorial and oral-history skills, and gather new objects and stories. You will bring a psychologically and trauma-informed approach to every stage of the project, ensuring that participation is safe, accessible and meaningful and that safeguarding remains a clear priority.

The impact you will make will last beyond the funded project. Through effective co-ordination, reflective practice and shared learning, you will help create a permanent legacy in the National Collection and produce practical resources, events, toolkits and guidance that strengthen lived-experience-led practice across the museum and homelessness sectors.

This role is subject to an Enhanced DBS disclosure.

We are not utilising agencies with this role and kindly ask that agencies do not approach to assist us with this vacancy.
