Founded in 1955, the Society works to improve and diffuse knowledge of the life, work and influence of William Morris. This is achieved through an impressive programme of activity – including publication of a journal and a members’ magazine, delivery of in-house and high-profile guest speaker events, school and outreach opportunities and, not least of all, rolling exhibitions at our museum on the Thames in West London.

With something for everyone, we are a diverse membership – from across the UK and further afield.
We combine our broad and international appeal with a strong local presence in Hammersmith based on the contribution of Morris to the arts & crafts movement and grassroots politics during his time living at Kelmscott House – the Coach House of which is today run by the Society as a museum. We work with organisations across the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, including the Council from whom we receive an annual grant.
A wide-ranging and rewarding role, the Director of The William Morris Society and Museum is responsible for leading the strategic direction, operational management, and financial sustainability of the charity. This involves overseeing museum operations, exhibitions, public programmes, membership services, and commercial activities, managing a small team of staff and volunteers.

Essential Criteria:
- Proven leadership experience in the museum or cultural sector or membership societies.
- Strong financial management and fundraising skills, including experience with budgeting, grant writing, and commercial activities.
- Experience in developing and delivering strategic plans and managing major projects.
- Demonstrated experience in managing teams, volunteers, and facilities.

Desirable Criteria:
- Experience managing historic buildings and conservation projects.
- Knowledge of William Morris and his legacy.
- Strong digital and marketing skills, particularly in enhancing visitor engagement.
- Familiarity with Museum, or other, Accreditation standards and curatorial practices.
