We have an exciting opportunity for a part-time Outreach and Engagement Officer to work for the AHRC funded project ‘The National Women’s MP: Joyce Butler, women’s rights and women’s liberation from the 1950s to the 1970s’ within the Faculty of History, George Street, Oxford, OX1 2RL. This project is led by Dr Lyndsey Jenkins, Mansfield College, University of Oxford, and is in collaboration with Bruce Castle Museum and Archive Service, Haringey Council, London. This role will be primarily based at Bruce Castle Museum in Tottenham, with some time spent working at Faculty of History, George Street, Oxford and allows scope for some remote working.

Tailored and targeted towards different stakeholders and audiences, this programme will incorporate online and in-person elements to promote the archive collection and exhibition, while reflecting the wider themes of the project. In particular, the successful candidate will take the lead in designing and delivering a project with young people which draws on and documents their response to the collection and results in a creative output.
