Middlesbrough is a fantastic place, proud of its heritage and ambitious enough to shape an entirely different future. At Middlesbrough Council we have set our city-scale plans to deliver over £600 million of investment that will promote economic growth and strengthen both our regional and national reputation as a destination of choice. We are also developing creative and ambitious plans that will deliver positive social regeneration outcomes, working with partners to reduce inequality and improve life chances for our residents. Everything we do is underpinned by the Mayor's Vision of a Fairer, Safer, Stronger Middlesbrough. Our culture is one of empowerment, and we actively encourage staff to make decisions, and be accountable and responsible. The quality of our staff and ensuring that we have modern working practices and communication are at the heart of all plans. If you have passion, integrity and focus and would like to help us achieve our ambition, we would love to hear from you!

At National Museums Scotland, we care for collections of national and international importance, preserving them, interpreting them and making them accessible to as many people as possible. We work with museums and communities across Scotland and beyond, introducing our collections to a much wider audience than can physically visit our museums, through partnerships, research, touring exhibitions, community engagement, digital programmes and loans. Our wealth of treasures represent more than two centuries of collecting. Collections take in everything from Scottish and classical archaeology to decorative and applied arts; from world cultures and social history to science, technology and the natural world. We also provide advice, expertise and support to the museums' community across Scotland. We have four museum sites which open to the public each showing different parts of the collections: the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh the National Museum of Flight, East Fortune Airfield, East Lothian the National Museum of Rural Life, East Kilbride the National War Museum Scotland, Edinburgh Castle In addition, our National Museums Collection Centre is based in Granton, Edinburgh, and houses literally millions of items - from our collection of 1.2 million insects and classic cars to whale skeletons!
