ARCHIVIST
2 year contract - starting at £19,713 per annum
The Records Preservation Section of the BRA has rescued and ensured the
preservation of archives since 1932. Its unique role involves sorting,
listing and despatching records to appropriate repositories.
We are seeking a full-time archivist with initiative and self-reliance who
is looking for an exciting challenge in taking responsibility for the day-
to-day operation of the Section’s varied work. A recent innovation, our
Archivist for Hire scheme offers the successful candidate opportunities to
gain wider experience on secondment with other repositories. The postholder
reports to the Chair of the Section and plays a full role in the
Association's activities, including liaison with other honorary officers.
This post would suit a recently qualified archivist, with an honours degree
and postgraduate qualification in archive administration, or qualified
archivists seeking part-time work on a job-share basis. Full support would
be provided to candidates working towards registration. Computer literacy,
attention to detail and oral and written communication skills are highly
desirable.
