Amgueddfa Cymru holds the largest and most comprehensive collection of Welsh botany, geology, and zoology specimens in the world, providing a unique record of the natural history of Wales, charting evolutionary and environmental change. These collections are used to deliver the Museum’s Strategy commitments, with particular focus on inclusivity, protecting the environment and digital presence. All of our collections belong to the people of Wales, and we prioritise making them a relevant and useful resource for everyone to explore and enjoy.

The department has a team of 26 natural science staff who work to deliver the Amgueddfa Cymru strategy.

The main purpose of the job is to provide administrative support to ensure the smooth running of the Department of Natural Sciences and Research. This will be achieved by working in partnership with staff in the department and across the Collections and Research Division.

You will provide support to the Head of Department in management meetings, maintaining external partnerships and associated reporting.

You will work closely with another part time administrator to ensure that all financial administration, record keeping and departmental communications are managed efficiently.
