Day-to-day operating brief

What Learning Officer (Education) work looks like in practice

A Museum Learning Officer designs programmes for schools, families, adults or communities and may supervise assistants and freelancers. Terms should cover audience research, curriculum links, collection access, co-design, resources, budgets, bookings, safeguarding, accessibility, digital delivery and evaluation. The officer should not overstate learning impact from attendance alone, use community stories without consent or create handling activities before object and conservation approval. Programme planning should set a theory of change and proportionate evidence before delivery, avoiding retrospective selection of only favourable comments. Replica and handling collections need their own inventory, condition and cleaning rules; being replaceable does not mean items can circulate without accountability or safe-material review. Resource development should define learning outcomes, handling rules and adaptations for different ages or access needs. Evaluation should capture whether participants understood the collection story, not merely attendance totals or general enjoyment.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Research audiences and learning needs.
Design programmes resources and training.
Coordinate staff freelancers and partners.
Manage budgets bookings and safeguarding.
