This post offers a new opportunity to join the team at a busy county archives and local studies service to assist with projects large and small. Working alongside HALS’ Conservator, your main focus will be practical preservation and conservation work to preserve and repair material held by HALS, for specific projects, primarily those funded by grants, bequests and chargeable services. There is also the scope for assisting with the provision of conservation services, preparation of materials for digitisation or exhibition, and learning activities. There may also be a need for some practical cover for other conservation duties from time to time.
This role is offered as a variable hours contract for work when funding is available. Hours will be variable by agreement during HALS opening hours, plus Mondays. Other evening and weekend times may be possible for learning and outreach activities.
You will have a recognised qualification in paper conservation and an excellent knowledge of the appropriate conservation methods, preservation and collections care for a wide range of physical media.

In return we can offer the chance to develop your skills working with a range of materials from medieval deeds to modern books, whilst working for an organisation that values its employees and invests in training and a Career Development Scheme.
