Bank of England Archive and Records Management Assistant (x2 vacancies)

Summary of the Role 

We are looking to recruit two individuals to post-graduate trainee positions. These roles have been designed to provide both trainees with a range of experience across the archive and records management disciplines. They would ideally suit individuals planning to undertake a post-graduate qualification in archives and/or records management. The two posts offer the chance to be involved in all aspects of the records lifecycle, from document creation through to destruction or transfer to the Archive. 

These roles are offered as a fixed term contract from 18 September 2017 for 51 weeks.  

Summary of the Team/Division 

The Archive and Records Management teams are both based in Threadneedle Street and are part of the Secretary’s Department which also includes the Bank’s Information Centre. The primary responsibility of the Secretary’s Department is to support the Court of Directors and other key governing committees of the Bank, including the Oversight Committee and the Audit and Risk Committee. In addition, Secretary’s Department owns a number of the Bank’s ethics policies.

The Bank of England Archive is one of the finest business archives in the country and is of national and international importance.  The Archive holds over 80,000 items covering all aspects of the Bank’s history and operations since it was established in 1694. As well as meeting the internal needs of the business, the Archive is open by appointment to external researchers four days a week. The team comprises the Archive Manager, who is an historian, four professional Archivists, an Archive Assistant (Photo Project) and the trainee Archive and Records Management Assistant. A Collaborative PhD researcher also works in the Archive. 

The Bank Records Management team is responsible for maintaining and improving the Bank’s information and records management-related policies and guidance and the tools used to support them. This enables the Bank to meet its operational and legal requirements. Both paper and electronic records are managed by the team, which comprises the Bank Records Manager, two Assistant Records Managers and the trainee Archive and Records Management Assistant. The team works closely with, and supports, a network of Business Area Records & Information Administrators.
