We strive to be an inclusive, agile and forward-looking organisation that seeks to lead and support positive change in the sector.

In January 2024, the Scottish Government accepted the recommendations of the Empire, Slavery & Scotland’s Museums (ESSM) Steering Group, set up to advise on how Scotland’s museums and galleries can better reflect the country’s role in empire, colonialism, and historic slavery. Museums need help to develop skills and confidence in this work. MGS is now looking to appoint an Events Assistant who will support the delivery of training and networking opportunities to assist with implementation of the recommendations. The role will also assist museums to develop resources to embed race equality and anti racism in the curriculum.

You will work collaboratively with the ESSM Manager and support effective relationships with partner organisations, training providers and programme participants. You will bring excellent administrative, organisational and communication skills, a strong customer focus and a can-do approach, with an awareness of anti-oppression.

The successful candidate will manifest MGS’s core values: collaboration, integrity, passion for museums, and courageousness.

We have a hybrid working approach and are happy to talk flexible working.

We believe that our work will be stronger with greater diversity. MGS welcomes applications from all sections of the community and is an equal opportunities employer.
