Wendy perhaps Weybridge is a cheap area to live.....oh wait no mm it is in Surrey, presumably in 2018 and not in 1978.
On a serious note, what do the ARA do when they see such adverts given they have salary recommendations and a mandate to safeguard professional interests? I know they say they wont advertise such ads but I am wondering, do their actions go beyond this.

Hi Wendy
Well you’re not alone. Part of me hope this was a typo and they meant £26K . In the meantime you and the wider list may be interested in my response to them
Teresa
Dear HR @ St Georges
Re your recent advertisement for a qualified archivist with 3 years experience. You may be interested to know I was appointed as a professional archivist for my first post with less than 3 years experience for just £500 less than you are offering. That was 26 years ago.
Perhaps your advertisement has come from your archives? Or perhaps this was a typo and the post is meant to be £26K
Archives is a professional requiring a post graduate qualification. You can read sector guidelines for salaries here: https://www.archives.org.uk/latest-news/725-the-ara-launches-new-salary-recommendations.html The minimum salary that ARA will advertise a newly qualified post is £22,443.
I see one of your benefits is a free lunch.
In archives as in any profession there is no such thing as a free lunch. I will advise the many archivists and interns I have employed over the years to review your advertisement accordingly.
Yours
Teresa Doherty

A qualified archivist with 3 years experience for £16K? This surely is April Fools Day?
I'm actually insulted by this.
