We are very excited to announce that we have a new job opportunity at The Rum Story! We are looking for a Project Manager for ‘The Rum Story Re-Imagined’. This new project, made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery Players, will be running for the next 12 months. It will be delivered by Whitehaven Harbour Commissioners and local charity Anti Racist Cumbria.
The project’s aim is to reveal the history of the Jefferson’s family business and Whitehaven’s past as a significant shipping port, built first on mining and then by the wealth generated by the Transatlantic trade of enslaved African people.
A key part of this project will be connecting with Whitehaven’s communities to reveal this history together. If you think you could be a project manager who could help us to connect our coastal community with a global story in a way that is authentic, bold, educational and engaging then please apply!
This position has now closed. We will post further updates once the new project manager is in place.
