Apprenticeship and Skills Pathway Manager
Fixed term (13 months maternity cover)
Full-time
Midlands
£31,500 per annum
The Royal Air Force Museum is a national museum, a Government non-departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity, with two sister sites at London and Midlands. Our purpose is to share the RAF story, past, present and future - using the stories of its people and our collections in order to engage, inform and inspire. Our Vision is to inspire everyone with the RAF story the people who shape it and its place in our lives.
We are looking to recruit an Apprenticeship and Skills Pathways Manager as part of our HR and Volunteering team, to support the delivery of the Museums Skills Pathways Programme (apprenticeships, work experience and insight experiences) which provides opportunities and career pathways for young people and under-represented groups. This is a new and exciting opportunity that is a key part of our Inspiring People Strategy.
The key responsibilities of this role include:
1. Leading a museum-wide Skills Pathways Programme.
2. Working with internal teams to further develop our existing offer.
3. Establishing strong links with local agencies to identify new opportunities.
4. Coordinating the recruitment and engagement of apprentices and work experience candidates to attract a diverse pool of candidates.
This is a fantastic development opportunity for someone who comes from a learning background and is willing to develop their skills and knowledge in Skills Pathways programme development. Previous experience and knowledge of managing apprenticeship schemes is not essential, however you will be someone who is eager to learn and develop in this area. You will be a self-starter. Excellent communication skills are a must along with a strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion as well as the ability to influence and build relationships with a range of stakeholders.
You will join the Museum at a very exciting time as we embark on a transformational project for our Midlands site, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The post will be based at our Midlands site with travel between the Museums sites as and when required.
Closing date for applications: 21 January 2025 at 12 noon
Interviews will take place on: 27 January 2025
