The Royal Air Force Museum is a national museum, a Government non-departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity, with two sister sites at London and Midlands. Our purpose is to share the RAF story, past, present and future – using the stories of its people and our collections in order to engage, inform and inspire. Our Vision is to inspire everyone with the RAF story – the people who shape it and its place in our lives.
We are looking to recruit an Apprenticeship and Skills Pathways Manager as part of our HR and Volunteering team, to support the development of the Museum’s Skills Pathways Programme (apprenticeships, work experience and insight experiences) which provides opportunities and career pathways for young people and under-represented groups. This is a new and exciting opportunity that is a key part of our Inspiring People Strategy.
The key responsibilities of this role include developing a museum wide Skills Pathways Programme, to work with internal teams to further develop our existing offer, establish strong links with local agencies to identify new opportunities and coordinate the recruitment and engagement of apprentices and work experience candidates by ensuring that the Museum is able to attract and recruit a diverse pool of candidates, particularly from under-represented groups.
The role would suit someone with previous experience of managing apprenticeships or working in a learning and development environment, who has excellent knowledge of the Apprenticeship Levy and the management of apprenticeship funds. Excellent communication skills are a must along with a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion as well as the ability to influence and build relationships with a range of stakeholders.
You will join the Museum at a very exciting time as we embark on a transformational project for our Midlands site, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The post will be based at our Midlands site with travel between the Museum’s sites as and when required.
