Paid training chance
One of Stirling’s top attractions is offering the chance of a paid learning opportunity to a person keen to build a career in the heritage sector.
An entry-level placement at the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Museum at Stirling Castle is available to non-graduates with an interest in museums.
The one-year programme starting in September is funded by the National Lottery Skills for the Future programme and managed by Museums Galleries Scotland. Learners will complete an accredited vocational programme designed to offer a new entry route into museums work.
The programme aims to increase diversity and bring new skills to the sector by bypassing the traditional requirement for academic qualifications and volunteering experience.
The successful candidates will work alongside museum professionals and learn skills like digitising collections, learning and engagement and volunteer management.
Museum chief executive Rob Layden said efforts to raise £4m to transform the museum were well underway, and added: “We are looking for a highly motivated individual with a passion for preserving and presenting our unparalleled collection of militaria, art and artefacts.
“Regardless of background, age, gender or formal qualification, we are looking for someone who will share our enthusiasm and can help us find fresh and exciting ways to tell the story of this great Scottish regiment.”
