The Role
Sitting within the National Programmes team at the V&A and reporting to the National Programmes Lead, the National Programmes Officer supports the day-to-day operation of the Arts Council England/V&A Purchase Grant Fund. The post acts as the first point of contact for the Fund, dealing courteously with applicants and advisers and processing grant applications through our grant database with guidance from the National Programmes Lead. The post also supports the provision of advice to Arts Council England and other similar public bodies gathering data and producing reports when required on our national activity.
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.
