Bring your skills, perspectives and professional expertise to support good governance, strengthen resilience and make a lasting impact on local heritage.
Are you ready to help guide a growing Museum through its next phase of development?
Lowewood Museum Trust CIO is a community-focused Hertfordshire heritage charity preserving local stories through collections, exhibitions and outreach, while driving growth, innovation and engagement through major heritage projects. With a collection of more than 40,000 items, a record of success with major funders and a strong volunteer and stakeholder network, Lowewood combines a proud local legacy with a forward-looking outlook.
Lowewood Museum Trust CIO is looking for two new Trustees (open recruitment) to provide strategic direction, governance and oversight, ensuring the Museum remains sustainable, impactful and true to its mission of preserving and sharing the stories of the Borough of Broxbourne. These open recruitment roles are two of four new Board appointments, alongside special roles of Vice Chair and Fundraising Lead Trustee.
We are keen to hear from people with a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Whether your skills are in business, education, marketing, visitor attractions or another field, we want to hear from you. You do not need previous trustee experience. We are looking for individuals who can think strategically, contribute constructively to discussions, exercise sound judgement and bring energy, ideas and professional expertise to support the organisation's future development.
As a Trustee, you will work alongside fellow Board members, staff and volunteers to oversee governance, safeguard the Museum's resources and reputation, support organisational resilience and champion its work within the community and beyond.
This is an excellent opportunity for motivated people who want to contribute to a growing organisation, develop their leadership experience and play a key role in shaping the future of local heritage.
We welcome applications from local people including the Museum’s dedicated volunteers and people facing discrimination, including racialised, LGBTQ+, and disabled communities. We aim to build a balanced Board with diverse experience.
Applicants must meet the eligibility requirements to serve as a charity Trustee.
Our recruitment pack is available on our website. To apply, please complete an application form (found on our website) outlining how you fit the role and why you are interested in being considered as a Trustee of Lowewood Museum.
Deadline for applications: 9 am on Tuesday 17 November 2026. Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an interview on Tuesday 1st December 2026.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and will consider reasonable adjustments to support accessibility. Contact us if you need adjustments or an informal conversation before applying. Please note the upper galleries are stair access only. Accessible toilets are on the ground floor, and assistance animals are welcome.
All Trustees and Volunteers are ambassadors for Lowewood Museum. We expect everyone to support our vision, follow policies that ensure safety and fairness, and treat others with respect.
This is a voluntary role and does not constitute paid employment or a legal contract.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Trustee of Lowewood Museum.
