Women's History Roadshows : 3 posts now available

Archif Menywod Cymru/Women’s Archive of Wales has been awarded Heritage 
Lottery funding for an exciting new project which will raise the profile 
of women’s history and heritage in Wales. We will be running a series 
of ‘Women’s History Roadshows’ throughout Wales, public events to which 
individuals and organisations will be invited to bring items which throw 
light on women’s history in Wales. We are seeking to fill 3 posts, each 
for a period of two years.

Post I: Development Officer (full time).

Salary – £23,175 p.a. (2006-07 Local Government scale SO1, under review)

The Development Officer will be responsible for overseeing and managing 
the organisation of the Women’s History Roadshows, including supervising 
and co-ordinating the work of two part-time field workers. A graduate with 
a good working knowledge of Wales and a strong interest in women’s 
history, you should have proven experience in managing and delivering a 
project. The post will be based in south Wales.

Posts 2 & 3: Field worker (2 posts); (part-time – 18.5 hours per week).

Salary – £20, 895 p.a. pro rata (2006-07 Local Government scale 6, under 
review)

The field workers will work with community groups around Wales setting up 
the Women’s History Roadshows and carrying out follow-up activities. A 
graduate with a broad knowledge of Wales and, ideally, an interest in 
women’s history, you should be self-motivated with demonstrable 
organisational and communication skills. One post will be based in north 
Wales, and one in the south.

All 3 posts will involve extensive travel within Wales, and are likely to 
involve flexible working, including some evenings and weekends. Fluency in 
written and spoken Welsh is essential for one of the field-work posts, and 
desirable for the other two.
