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.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Museum’s Development Team to assist with delivering the Museum’s Strategy 2030. The role will provide an excellent learning and development opportunity for an individual with the interest and aptitude to join a fast-paced team generating income to support Museum programmes.

The individual will need good written and oral communications skills as well as the ability to multi-task.
Travel between sites and across the UK is required as part of the role which will also provide opportunities to attend key Museum events and be the face and first point of contact for many of the Museums donors.
