Find a Job is the Museums Association's own board — the MA being the UK's main professional membership body for museum workers, and the organisation behind Museums Journal, the AMA qualification and a long record of workforce and pay research.

Facts about MA Find a Job read from their own site on 6 September 2026. If something here is out of date or wrong, tell us and it will be corrected.
Employers post here because it is where the UK museum workforce reads. That, plus the MA's professional development programmes and its research on pay and conditions, is a whole ecosystem this site is not trying to replicate.
Registration costs nothing and opens every listing on their site. It is a lighter gate than the one here.
You can read listings here without registering — capped, but nothing to sign up for first.
Find a Job is UK. Roles at continental institutions are gathered here from those institutions' own pages, daily.
The salary archive is downloadable, permanently kept and free to cite under CC BY 4.0 — built for the kind of workforce research the MA itself publishes.
For a UK museum job search, the MA's board plus the Leicester Jobs Desk cover the ground well, and both are effectively free. This site earns its place for continental Europe, for roles never posted to a board at all, and for the pay data — not as a UK replacement.
In the UK, use theirs. Add this when your search crosses the Channel.
