The Role
The V&A Collections Care and Access Division is looking for a 10month maternity cover for the Head of Photography and Digitisation. The Head of Photography and Digitisation is responsible for the operational planning, management and development of the Photography and Digitisation team, delivering consistently high standards of photography and imaging services across the V&A. The post holder plays a leading role in developing expertise in photography and digitisation, contributing to research, supporting development, enhancing practice and raising the profile of the department internally and externally. The Head of Photography and Digitisation leads and directs the work of the Photography and Digitisation team, deployed across the V&A sites and on location, and co-ordinates the museum’s programme and photographic services on time and within budget on behalf of the team. The Head is also responsible for oversight and coordination of digitisation initiatives across the museum. We occasionally close vacancies early in the event we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we recommend you apply early.
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.
