The Role
The Learning and Engagement team at V&A East plays a vital role in ensuring that V&A East inspires creativity and opens opportunities for our priority audience of young people in east London. This role will lead our flagship programmes for young people including the V&A East Youth Collective. They will devise and deliver projects and programmes with a focus on creativity, practical making, ideas and conversation. The programme seeks to address inequity within the creative sector and to unlock creativity as a skill in all areas of life. Everything we do is informed by the needs of young people and their communities in east London. This role will devise and deliver programmes and projects in collaboration with young people, creative practitioners, services and organisations throughout east London as well as the East Bank partners (University of the Arts, London, BBC, Sadlers Wells and University City of London). The role is based within the V&A East team but will work across the wider V&A organisation to ensure our work has maximum impact. They will work with departments such as Marketing, Digital and Communications and Collections, Care and Access.
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.
