Our Community Engagement Manager has a pivotal role in developing Gunnersbury Park and Museum (GPM) as an inclusive and accessible place for everyone. We are looking for a collaborative individual with strong management skills to build relationships and deliver activities in partnership with our local communities. 

GPM welcomes over 1 million visitors annually and is uniquely situated in Ealing and Hounslow, two of London’s most diverse boroughs. With over 160 languages spoken locally and 85% of pupils from minoritised ethnic backgrounds, we are committed to transforming how museums engage with underrepresented communities—particularly audiences who face persistent barriers to accessing traditional museum spaces.  

We have established two community advisory groups – our community Youth Forum of Young Curators and our Community Cultural Champions who help to shape and co-curate our programming including exhibitions and events. The Community Engagement Manager plays a vital role in supporting the development and implementation of work with these two groups. They also play a vital role in building relationships with new, and existing community partners to expand our reach and increase our capacity to deliver inclusive and engaging experiences.  

Requests for hybrid and flexible working will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Museum Service.

You will feel comfortable working with colleagues from a range of professional backgrounds and varying levels of seniority, and similarly with the diverse cluster of communities that together are responsible for West London’s vibrant culture.
