Imperial War Museum
IWM is a global authority on conflict and its impact on people’s lives. Our world-leading collection and historically important sites help us tell extraordinary human stories in the most powerful way possible.
IWM is a charity. We are partly funded by the government but rely on the support of our members, volunteers and donors, as well as income from retail and other commercial activities to carry on our work.

IWM tells the story of people who have lived, fought and died in conflicts involving Britain and the Commonwealth since the First World War.
We challenge people to look at conflict from different perspectives, enriching their understanding of the causes, course and consequences of war and its impact on people’s lives.
Our staff play a crucial role in caring for our unique collections, welcoming our visitors to our five branches and ensuring we continue to preserve and share powerful personal stories for generations to come.
At IWM we seek to address the need for greater diversity within our workforce as well as the wider museum and heritage sector.
In all our practices we embrace diversity and promote equality of opportunity and we welcome applications from suitable candidates of all backgrounds.
We have a wide range of different roles and career opportunities from curatorial and collections management, to marketing and communications, education, development, business support, IT, digital, retail and admissions and many more.
