NMDC Executive Assistant (22.2 hours per week), National Museums Liverpool

Since April 2025 NMDC has been hosted at National Museums Liverpool.

Our people are at the heart of National Museums Liverpool. Colleagues from across the NML team make a difference every day, creating memorable experiences for everyone and challenging expectations. We pride ourselves on being a place for everyone, but we are always aiming higher, aspiring to be representative of the communities we serve.

We currently have the post of NMDC Executive Assistant available.

The National Museum Directors' Council (NMDC) represents the leaders of the UK's national collections and major regional museums. We act as an advocate on behalf of our members and their collective priorities and work to shape museum and cultural policy agendas, as well as providing our membership with a forum for discussion and an opportunity to share information and work collaboratively.

As NMDC Executive Assistant you will provide efficient and effective executive and administrative support to the NMDC staff team and Chair and ensure the smooth running of the NMDC office. Reporting to the Policy and Projects Manager, you will support delivery of NMDC meetings and events, external communications, projects and members' services. You will be in regular contact with colleagues across NMDC member institutions and related organisations and will build up an extensive knowledge of current UK museum and cultural sector issues.

You will have experience of organising meetings and the ability to manage electronic diaries, websites, contact databases and financial administration systems. You will have excellent IT and communication skills, good attention to detail and the ability to prioritise tasks and work to deadlines.

NMDC moves with the organisation's Chair, so this role may move to be hosted by another museum in 2029, although hybrid working arrangements can continue.
