Do you have a passion for providing excellent customer service and creating memorable experiences for families? This is an exciting time to join Colchester + Ipswich Museums (CIMS) as major developments of our museums are changing the cultural landscape of both towns.


In Colchester, our nationally significant collections chart local human and natural histories. From stone age artefacts to contemporary costume, fossils to spirit specimens, these collections inspire and inform. Our Visitor Services team play a vital role in welcoming visitors to our museums and bringing those collections to life.

Candidates should have previous experience of working in a busy customer orientated environment, including dealing face to face with customers, ideally in the public services or tourism, and be able to demonstrate the ability to provide accurate information and proactively assist customers in order that as a service we meet and exceed their needs. You should have knowledge and experience of merchandising, stock control and ordering processes.


You must be able to deliver educational sessions and activities to individuals and groups as directed, after appropriate training. An interest in local history would also be required.


CIMS strive for diversity in our workforce, so we are seeking people with different life experiences to broaden our thinking and improve representation in the work we do. We particularly welcome applications from D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people, People of Colour, young people and people from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds. These posts are part-time positions.
