The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design. We enrich people’s lives by promoting the practice of design and increasing knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the designed world. Supporting contemporary artists, designers and makers has always been at the heart of the V&A’s mission. For over a decade, the V&A’s Residency Programme has enabled creative practitioners to gain unique access to the Museum’s collections, archives and curatorial expertise to enrich and inspire their practice. A hallmark of residencies at the V&A is public engagement – practitioners work alongside specialist museum educators to design and deliver open studios, workshops, resources, and temporary displays for a broad range of audiences.

You will have excellent skills in project and budget management and work well to tight deadlines in a fast-paced and creative environment.
