The Role

Young V&A opened as a new museum of design and creativity for children and young people in Bethnal Green, East London, on 1 July 2023.

Drawing on our internationally renowned collections of art, design and performance, Young V&A aims to be the UK's premier national museum developed with, and for, young people – a place where you can learn, create, and debate together, and design for tomorrow.

We aim to inspire children and young people to be active citizens and creative change-makers in their communities; to empower educators to drive forward creative education in art, design, and performance from early years to secondary school; to connect young people with the creative ingenuity of designers, entrepreneurs, innovators and inventors, and each other, and to influence the sector through child-centred museum practice.

Lead Creative Facilitators work across all strands of Learning programming – schools, families, early years and with young people, leading preparation of materials and delivery of learning activity as well as supporting evaluation and reflection on impact and practice. Facilitators also take a lead in developing and maintaining spaces for learning within the Learning Centre. Facilitators collaborate with colleagues across the museum to develop inclusive facilitation and joined up experiences for young visitors and their grown-ups. They may also work with a Senior Producer within the Learning team to develop new approaches to facilitation in key programme areas. They will also support the broader development of learning and engagement programmes.

We are excited to be recruiting two Lead Creative Facilitators to join our team. One post is permanent, the other is fixed term to September 2024, to cover a maternity leave. Please state in your covering statement whether you wish to be considered for both roles or just one.

The V&A

The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.8 million objects, books and archives that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum holds many of the UK's national collections and houses some of the greatest resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.  

Our mission is to be recognised as the world's leading museum of art, design and performance, and to enrich people's lives by promoting research, knowledge and enjoyment of the designed world to the widest possible audience. We strive to make the V&A matter to more people and in that context we work to the following six strategic objectives:

  • To create a world class visitor and learning experience across all V&A sites and collections.
  • Focus and deepen the relevance of our collections to the UK creative and knowledge economy.
  • Expand the V&A's international reach, reputation and impact.
  • To operate with financial and organisational initiative and efficiency.
  • Showcase the best of digital design and deliver an outstanding digital experience.
  • Diversify and increase private and commercial funding sources.
