This is a rare and exciting opportunity to contribute to a once-in-a-generation exhibition centred on the Bayeux Tapestry - one of the world s most iconic and historically significant works.

• You remain calm under pressure, able to prioritise tasks and respond flexibly in a fast-paced and sometimes reactive environment
• You are proactive and self-motivated, with a willingness to learn and continuously develop your technical skills on the job

• Operate and support AV facilities across live events, exhibitions, galleries, and meeting spaces
• Provide first-line technical support, troubleshooting AV equipment and systems to ensure seamless delivery
• Contribute to AV projects, including design, installation, maintenance, and de-installation for exhibitions and gallery spaces
• Support the setup and delivery of live and hybrid events, including digital streaming and technical coordination
• Work collaboratively with stakeholders across the Museum to understand requirements, manage AV assets, and continuously improve services

The British Museum is undertaking its biggest transformation since its founding nearly 300 years ago. This physical and intellectual transformation includes large scale building and gallery transformation, new ways of connecting with audiences and different ways of working. As we look towards this exciting future, we remain guided by the words of our founder Hans Sloane - who dreamed of a museum connecting all arts and sciences, which would be accessible to everyone, everywhere.
