There is a potential opportunity for a freelance contractor to work with the Milton Keynes Heritage Consortium on its ongoing structural development. The role will also help identify a way forward for the consortium in relation to the proposed options for museum and archive provision for Milton Keynes, its formal relationship with Milton Keynes Council and its future resourcing and development. It is expected that the contractor will be employed by Milton Keynes Museum, the budget holding organisation for the Heritage Consortium. (The Heritage Consortium consists of 5 partner organisations - MK Museum, City Discovery Centre, Living Archive, Bletchley Park, Cowper & Newton Museum)
