School and Public Programs Manager
Contract Employment Opportunity – 18 Month Maternity Leave
As the School and Public Programs Manager, you will offer a rich variety of programming to our communities and will continue to support and grow these programs. We know that our strength lies in our interactions with people, and we want to continue finding the best ways to improve upon that strength.
You will directly train and supervise temporary seasonal staff and programs volunteers to create an engaging environment in the museum galleries. You will schedule and guide on site and outreach programming for schools and community groups. You will interact on a regular basis with programs groups on behalf of the museum and will develop and deliver high-quality museum content to a wide variety of audiences, including children, adults, and seniors.
You will also be responsible for maintaining tracking of program numbers and participants, keeping clear records for reporting to our funders. At times you will be responsible for updating programming-related grant narratives or providing supportive materials for museum development projects.
In this position, you will work first-hand with groups underserved by many cultural institutions, including folks experiencing homelessness, new immigrants and refugees, women in need, and others. You will actively seek out new groups who would enjoy the museum and what it has to offer and create a welcoming space for them.
This position will largely be based at our public location in downtown Victoria and may include travel throughout the city at the museum’s various locations and the locations of outreach programs bookings.
