ABOUT THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
We are a world-class visitor attraction and lead- ing science research centre. We use the Museum’s unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world to- day. We care for more than 80 million objects span- ning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually and 16 million visits to our website. Today the Museum is more relevant and influen- tial than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things. We employ 900 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. 300 of our staff are scientists, who wotk with the collection and who need the very best facilities to suceed. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create ad- vocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world. This is an exciting time to join the Museum as we have secured investment from the UK Government to build a new science and digitisation centre at Thames Valley Science Park, University of Read- ing. The purpose-built centre will house much of the Museum’s collection and will include laborato- ries, digitisation suites, collaborative research spac- es, conservation labs and workspaces
Diversity and inclusion matter to us.
Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment. We know we have more to do, but we are commit- ted to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.
