Learning and Engagement Officer (STEM)

The Royal Air Force Museum is as a national museum, a Government non departmental public body (NDPB) and a registered charity.

We have two public sites in the Midlands and London and a stored collection at Stafford. Our purpose is to share the RAF story - past, present and future - using the stories of its people and our collections 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.

• Health and Wellbeing
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
• Sustainability
