The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art, design and performance, and the custodian of an extraordinary and extensive collection spanning decorative and applied arts. Working with and for our visitors, we are changing how our extensive Collections are cared for, seen, understood, and enjoyed.

The mission of the Collections Care and Access division is to manage, preserve, and provide access to the V&A’s collection in both physical and digital format, working across multiple V&A sites, at South Kensington, Bethnal Green and in Stratford. The division is made up of the following departments: Conservation, Technical Services, Collections Management, Photography and Digitisation and Collections Access.

The Technical services department brings excellence and innovation to the long-term care of the V&A’s collections, supporting access to the collections and delivering the V&A’s public programme.

We are seeking 3 museum technicians to support the preparation of objects for display in the Young V&A galleries, ensuring their packing, transport and installation is of the highest standard. Safe handling and display are integral to this role. The role is a practical one and you will be expected to work at heights, handle complex objects and be able to work in a busy install environment. The Technician will work closely with the Senior Technicians, Project managers, and other stakeholders such as Conservators, Curators, and external borrowers.

The places of work will include the V&A’s South Kensington site. Much of the post will be based at our Young V&A Museum site in Bethnal Green, East London.
