Regional Education Project Lead

The Australian Museum has developed the Mini Museum, an innovative educational loans program that brings hands-on museum learning experiences directly to preschools in regional NSW. Museum learning kits can be borrowed from local regional hubs and are supported by age-appropriate digital learning resources and teaching ideas. The program aims to connect and nurture preschoolers to understand their shared responsibility for the world around them and the power they have to protect it. The program is currently piloting in two regional locations.

Building on the successful Mini Museum pilot program, we’re expanding our reach and influence across regional NSW. This project changes the way that the Australian Museum connects with communities across NSW, particularly focusing on early years learners, teachers, and families in regional areas. You’ll be leading the development of a sustainable delivery model that brings museum collections, knowledges, and experiences beyond our walls, working collaboratively with communities to co-design programs and resources that reflect their unique needs and interests.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced education project manager to lead the development and delivery of innovative, high-quality education programs for regional audiences. As the Regional Education Project Lead, you’ll build meaningful relationships with libraries, museums, community organisations, and local government partners across NSW. Working with diverse communities, including First Nations peoples, you’ll demonstrate cultural competency in all aspects of program design and delivery, guided by principles of co-design and genuine community engagement.
