Registrar (0.5 FTE)

The University of Liverpool, Libraries, Museums and Galleries (LMG) is home to diverse and significant cultural and heritage collections, formed over the last 150 years. Our venues are the public interface between the University and wider community, with significant potential and opportunity to support the University’s goals for research, education, place making and innovation. Our strategy, Reimagining Libraries Museums and Galleries 2024-2031 outlines our ambitions.

Within the Cultural Heritage team, we run two Museum Accredited venues: Victoria Gallery and Museum (VG&M), home to the University Art Collection; Garstang Museum of Archaeology and Egyptology; and an Accredited Archives service through Special Collections and Archives, based at the Sydney Jones Library. We manage stores across the campus for our wide-ranging formats and care for objects and artworks on display in various campus buildings and public art. We take a continuous improvement approach to accessibility, visibility and sense of belonging in our spaces. Our partnerships are diversifying beyond the University in support of place making and innovation. Commitments to improve collections care and access are matched by major projects to improve collections data and information.

We are seeking to recruit a Registrar to support work across all our Cultural Heritage collections.  The Registrar is central to activity across the service, responsible for the day-to-day movement of collection items into and out of the repositories. The Registrar is responsible for the administration and management of the cultural heritage service’s loans programme, and the transport and insurance of the collections. You will closely with exhibitions colleagues on specific projects and works with curators on specific collection acquisition tasks, reporting to the Head of Visitor Experience and Space development.

You will demonstrate attention to detail, good understanding of standards and procedures for the safe movement and display of cultural and heritage collections, knowledge of object handling, and packing requirements. You will have good database management skills, recordkeeping processes, and understanding of collections care. You will have a flexible approach to work, good organisational and planning skills, practical problem-solving ability and excellent communication skills. Some additional duties may be required occasionally.

Interviews anticipated to take place January 2026, subject to change.
