Exhibition Curator
Birmingham, West Midlands
We have an exciting opportunity for a full-time Exhibition Curator to support our Communications Team on a fixed term basis.
The Vegan Society was founded in 1944 and celebrates its 80th anniversary this November. The society is a registered charity, a membership organisation and in addition to its campaigns, policy, advocacy and fundraising work, it is also the organisation behind the international Vegan Trademark on the packaging for food and toiletries that confirms that they are certified as suitable for vegans.
The Exhibition Curator will lead on curating and delivering a small temporary exhibition of the history and future of veganism exhibitions during the month of November 2024 (World Vegan Month). The exhibition will be designed to become a travelling exhibition that could be restaged at vegan consumer and trade exhibitions during the society's anniversary year to November 2025.
For a full list of duties, responsibilities, and personal criteria, please refer to the full job description and person specification.
The Vegan Society is actively recruiting for this position and may contact shortlisted candidates prior to the published closing date, so early applications are encouraged.
It is a condition of your employment that, as far as is possible and practicable, you adhere to a vegan diet and lifestyle.
About us:
The Vegan Society makes veganism more accessible and an easily adopted approach by supporting individuals, policy and decision makers, caterers, manufacturers, health care professionals and the media.
If you are:
- passionate about changing the way we treat animals
- want to help reduce damage to our environment
- want to encourage people to enjoy healthy vegan food that looks good and tastes great
you're in the right place! As individuals, we have a somewhat eclectic mix of skills, passions and idiosyncrasies... but it works. Probably because we all have one thing in common: we believe we're onto something really special.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion:
The Vegan Society values equality, diversity and inclusion. We want to be an organisation that tackles any structural discrimination or prejudice. We are actively trying to increase diversity in our organisation and encourage applications from all sections of the community. As users of the Disability Confident scheme, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy.
