The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art, design, and performance, housing a collection of over 2.3 million objects that document 5,000 years of human creativity from across six continents.

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 Conservation department brings excellence and innovation to the long-term care of the V&A’s collections, supporting access to the collection, the V&A’s public programme, and care of collections research initiatives.

The Senior Technician will provide technical leadership to their teams in their areas of expertise, mentoring less experienced team members and taking a leading role in the delivery of Technical Services work and projects.

The post holder will be expert in the best use of space, resources, equipment, and materials, providing sound practical and technical advice and able to guide teams at a practical level. They will also support the work of the Manger Multi-site in scheduling tasks and projects, allocating resources and advising on longer-term resource needs.
