The Brunel Museum is looking to recruit up to four new Trustees. The Board of Trustees supports the work and staff of the museum, overseeing the long-term strategy and sustainability of the museum. The Museum’s mission is to preserve and share widely the ground-breaking stories of the Thames Tunnel and the outstanding achievements of the Brunel family and their relevance to our lives today.
We are looking for people who will bring passion and enjoyment both to the board, and the museum.
We want to broaden the diversity of our Board and welcome candidates that can contribute a diversity of representation and thinking, including people from minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and those with experience of socio-economic disadvantage.
While these specific skills or experiences are not required, we are keen to hear from you if you have expertise in the following areas:
- Board Secretary/Governance
- Finance
- Heritage museum or historic site management including Facilities Management
- Engineering
Trustees are initially appointed for a three-year term.
The deadline for applications is 6pm, 11 January 2026.
Please take a look at the recruitment pack for further details. The pack contains further information on the role of trustee, the museum, and the application process, as well as how to get in touch if you have questions.
