As an Archives Specialist you'll use your positive attitude, your knowledge of records and your ability to deliver high quality cataloguing and other projects.
It's a job full of possibilities as you could get involved in anything from exporting catalogue data to promoting collections and developing professional skills. We'll look to you to scope and plan work, engage with the library and archives team, supervise project work, and demonstrate professional knowledge. It's a great way to build your knowledge of our work and develop your potential.
As our Archives Specialist you'll lead on projects impacting on the whole organisation whilst influencing our stakeholders and building key external relationships.
We expect you to look after our members and stakeholders. And we expect you to be rewarded for it.
