Facilities Manager - Ulster Museum

National Museums NI is a leading cultural institution responsible for ensuring that its significant collection is developed, cared for, and accessible to the widest possible audience. Almost one million people enjoy our four museums each year, and through loans, research, community activity, and digital programmes, we engage a much wider audience than those who physically visit our museums.

We believe that our museums can play an important and valuable role at the heart of society. Through our work, we preserve, protect, and promote the region's cultural assets, knowledge, and collective memory. We provide shared and trusted spaces to explore who we are, where we have come from, and where we might be going. We engage and work in partnership with the public to share stories and care for and present a vast range of objects, bringing important cultural, educational, social, and scientific ideas to life. We unite the past, present, and future; enhance health and well-being; make places more attractive to live in, work, and visit; and create positive economic impact. We inspire present and future generations of pioneers, designers, makers, and community leaders. Our museums are loved and trusted public institutions: they provide joy, prompt reflection, and foster curiosity about the world around us.

As an organisation, we believe in excellence, authenticity, teamwork, respect, and courage and seek an individual who can share and embody our core values.

The Facilities Manager post based at the Ulster Museum will play an active role in supporting the delivery of the programming activities at the museum, ensuring the logistical elements of all exhibitions, events, and programmes are co-ordinated and delivered. As part of the museum management team, the post holder will help to provide all visitors with a high-quality experience by creating a welcoming atmosphere and providing a high standard of customer care through improving and maintaining the museum facilities.

The post holder will also manage the on-site security staff, take responsibility for the security system, and manage the delivery of the cleaning provision to the site.
