About Us
The Royal Air Force Museum is as a national museum, a Government non departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity.
We have two public sites in the Midlands and London and a stored collection at Stafford. Our purpose is to share the RAF story – past, present and future – using the stories of its people and our collections 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.
Our museum commitments are the golden thread that run through everything that we do. These are:
• Health and Wellbeing
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
• Sustainability
What We Are Looking For
The Royal Air Force Museum is looking to recruit a Learning & Engagement Officer (Early Years). The postholder will deliver across the whole range of Learning & Engagement Department activities (all subject areas and audiences) while leading on Early Years provision.
This is a maternity cover position for up to 12 months.
The postholder will deliver daily programmed activities for schools (onsite, online and occasionally offsite), and there will be opportunities to work with families and other Museum audiences. In addition to delivering workshops for schools in a lively and imaginative way, the post holder will develop activities, resources, events and experiences which enable a wide range of learners to access and enjoy the Museum.
There is a requirement to work occasional weekends, bank holidays and evenings as necessary. The post is based at the London site but work at all Museum sites (London, Cosford and Stafford) and at outreach venues may be required.
