Victoria and Albert Museum Hiring for Sustainable Conservation Internship at South Kensington Full Time

The V&A is offering a paid internship in the field of Sustainability in Conservation Practice. You will help us develop a plan of action for integrating environmental sustainability in everyday practice in conservation and collection care.

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. 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 collections, the V&A’s public programme, and care of collections research initiatives.

Sustainability is crucial to the delivery of the V&A’s mission and is already woven into much of what we do. It is at the heart of our role to think about what and how we make and consume, and the effect of this on society and the natural environment. Following the launch of our Sustainability Plan, we are focusing on areas of our activity where we can have the most significant positive impact.

This is a part time, paid internship for 8 weeks.
