Jobs & Opportunities

We are seeking a freelance cultural/creative education specialist to develop a suite of curriculum-linked learning resources for schools.

Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens is one of the city’s key cultural venues, home to important collections, local stories, natural history, art, heritage and community memory. As the museum moves towards a significant redevelopment of the building, we are developing an education “meanwhile” programme to ensure schools can continue to access high-quality cultural learning opportunities during this period of change.

This commission will support the development of resources and session content that can be used in classrooms, outreach settings and future museum learning activity. The work will include resources on Sunderland’s coal mining heritage and the Leifchild Report, the Victoria Hall Disaster, local animals and habitats, and Rebel Women of Sunderland.
