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
We are looking to recruit an Assistant Registrar who will play a crucial role in the Museum’s Collections Development by assisting in the effective management of collections, with particular focus on the Museum’s loans programme, and the promotion of wider access and engagement.
In support of the Museum’s strategic objectives and Accreditation commitments, the successful candidate will enable the Museum to develop and focus collections for public benefit. In addition to assisting with the maintenance of the Museum’s inward and outward loans programme, this role will coordinate regular auditing checks and provide collections management support for the relocation of the Museum’s collection’s store.
It is an essential requirement for applicants to demonstrate they have at least 3 years of experience in a collections management role, and it is ideal for someone who has worked on loans in and loans out in a heritage setting. In addition, the post holder will demonstrate a comprehensive understanding and application of collections management standards and a clear desire to pursue a career in collections management.
The post will be based at our London site. Travelling between the Museums' three sites will be necessary when required. |
