WE ARE HIRING

STEM Learning and Communications Officer

Full-time · Prescott Hill, Gotherington, Gloucestershire · Reports to the Chairman of Trustees

The Bugatti Trust is looking for a versatile, all-round person to run our learning and communications activities day to day at our museum and study centre at Prescott. It is one of the most varied and rewarding roles in the UK heritage sector. You will combine public speaking, marketing and PR, education and events, all in service of one of motoring history’s most celebrated marques.

ABOUT US

The Bugatti Trust (Bugatti Molsheim Limited, registered charity No. 298099) is an independent charitable museum, archive and study centre dedicated to the life and work of Ettore Bugatti and the marque he founded. Our archive holds over 27,000 original factory technical drawings, more than 10,000 photographs and thousands of supporting documents. Owners, restorers, researchers and enthusiasts around the world use it.

The Bugatti Trust is an equal opportunities employer that values diversity. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified people regardless of their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability, religious practice, or any other perceived differences. We are an armed forces friendly employer.

THE ROLE

As STEM Learning and Communications Officer, you will be part of the operational heart of the Trust, responsible for its learning programme, public engagement and external profile. A small, committed team runs the Trust with the help of volunteers and the advertised role is multi-faceted, active and on-site. You will need to be just as comfortable giving a talk to visiting schoolchildren as briefing the press, running a social media campaign or greeting the public on an open day. You will work closely with the whole team, the Chairman and other Trustees at all times.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

• Leading our nationally recognised STEM and schools/university outreach programme, including talks, workshops and competition sponsorship.

• Delivering public talks, lectures and media appearances to audiences ranging from schoolchildren to specialist collectors.

• Owning the Trust’s marketing, PR, communications, website and social media.

• Writing and producing the Trust’s digital newsletters, press releases and digital content.

• Working with the team contributing to planning, promoting and delivering the Trust’s events, open days and public programme.

• Building and maintaining relationships with schools, universities, sponsors, owners and the wider Bugatti and motoring community.

• Representing the Trust when needed at major trade shows, including the NEC Classic Motor Show, and at partner prize-giving and awards events.

• Liaising with partner marque clubs, museums, educational bodies and the media.

• Supporting the Trust’s governance, including attending trustees’ board meetings and providing regular written reports.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven experience delivering learning, outreach or public engagement programmes, ideally in a museum, heritage or education setting.

• Strong public speaking and presentation skills, with the confidence to address audiences from schoolchildren to specialist collectors.

• The ability to deliver public relations, press liaison and/or marketing communications.

• Strong written communication skills, including writing newsletters and digital content.

• Experience managing websites and social media channels.

• A willingness to build a solid working knowledge of the Bugatti marque, the Bugatti family and the history of The Bugatti Trust.

• A full, valid UK driving licence is essential.

• A willingness to be contracted each year to work some evenings and up to 12 weekend days, often in the summer, to support events, open days and trade shows.

• The Trust is open to the public for regular visiting hours Mondays to Fridays and selected weekends, and you will be expected to work with others to meet and greet visitors when required.

• There is a small retail area, and you will need to show that you can master basic administrative tasks.

• Whilst not generally an issue, as a small organisation all members of staff are required to contribute to the overall presentability and cleanliness of the premises.

• A strong team ethos and the ability to see long and complex projects through to the end.

• Desirable but not essential: fluency in French and/or German, a qualification in education, marketing or communications, and experience in the classic or historic motoring sector.
