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

Travel between the Museum’s sites will be necessary from time to time as well as attending off site events, trade shows and training courses, which may require overnight stays.
This is a part-time, permanent role, working 21 hours per week, 7 hours per day on any 3 days out of the 7-day week, including weekends, bank holidays and early mornings / evenings, as necessary.
