Our structure
Our central team is based at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. Here we work on developing our full programme, deploy the wider team across the South West and process data on audiences and the wider museum sector.
Museum Development Officers (MDOs) work on the ground with museums and are located throughout the South West. These individuals are very knowledgeable about their local area and on all aspects of development.
We have a dedicated Accreditation Technical Advisor who works with museums and our local MDOs to support museums in the process of Accreditation. We work with museums from the initial eligibilty stage right across to post application and maintaining the standard.
Our Thematic Officers across the South West bring expertise to the core elements of our work:
- Audience Development – Rachel Miller
- Conservation and Collection Care – Helena Jaeschke
- Digital Engagement – Rachel Cartwright
- Volunteering and Workforce – Eleanor Moore
All of our team contact details can be found below. In the first instance we recommend that you get in touch with us directly and ensure you are connected with the best suited team member.
