With the permission of the list owners I should like to circulate details of
the following vacancy at the Worcestershire Record Office.
WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL
CULTURAL SERVICES
RECORD OFFICE
Post of ASSISTANT ARCHIVIST, Scale 4-5 (subject to progression
criteria)(£13,299-£16,680)
The Worcestershire Record Office invites applications from
professionally-qualified archivists for this post, which offers an ideal
opportunity to gain a wide range of experience in a busy county record
office.
It offers a self-motivated professional the chance to participate across a
wide range of the Office's functions, including searchroom services (which
will form a significant proportion of the duties), cataloguing, outreach and
modern records. The successful candidate will have an enthusiastic
commitment to public services and an informed awareness of the many issues
facing archive services at the present.
You will work closely with a Head of Repository as part of a small team
maintaining and developing day-to-day services at one of the three branches
of the Office (all located in Worcester). There will be opportunities to
move between branches as part of your normal working pattern. The Office is
currently planning for relocation of its services, and part of your remit
will be to be closely involved in organising the move of family history
resources to a temporary interim location.
Experience will be useful but not essential. More important will be evidence
of good teamwork skills, empathy with all types of users, good communication
and interpersonal skills, and practical common sense.
A CORA records management computer package is operated, and the Office is
currently in the development phase of introducing the CALM 2000 cataloguing
package.
For an informal discussion please contact Robin Whittaker on (01905) 766353.
