<p>This Headley Trust–funded Internship based at National Museum Cardiff is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about archaeology but has <strong>no qualifications, previous knowledge, or experience of archaeological artefacts, finds-recording, or museum work</strong> to gain experience in order to enter a career in archaeology or the museum sector.</p>
<p>There is a recognised lack of diversity within the workforce in both archaeology and museums, especially amongst people with disabilities, from low-income backgrounds, and from diverse ethnicities. We are keen to address this imbalance and therefore are open to applications from people who are following a non-traditional and non-academic progression route into heritage. We will recognise the value of fresh thinking and transferable skills and will value lived experience as a form of expertise.</p>
<p>To help you get to know a bit more about the roles and our work, we are offering:</p>
<ul>
<li>Informal tours of our Museums.</li>
<li>Drop-in sessions to discuss the roles and what it’s like to work for us (in person or virtual, whichever suits you best).</li>
<li>Telephone discussions.</li>
<li>An opportunity to discuss any adjustments or support you may need to apply for any of the roles.</li>
</ul>
<p>To apply, please complete a brief <strong><a href="https://museum.wales/media/53269/1578AEN-Expression-of-Interest-Form-PAS-Internship.docx">expression of interest form</a></strong> together with the <strong><a href="https://museum.wales/media/52067/Equality-Monitoring-Form-2021.doc">vetting and equality monitoring form</a></strong>.
