Dear Colleagues
Please forward this to any interested individuals.
Records Officer – Digital Asset Management
Conservation and Collection Care, Collections Management
Hampton Court Palace
Temporary – eleven months, full time
Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) is the independent charity that looks after the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hillsborough Castle. We are making a significant investment in the
digital transformation of our business with new digital asset management and document management systems and are looking for someone to support the establishment of the standards, particularly metadata, controlled vocabulary and file paths to deliver industry-standard
practices of records management.
This is a unique opportunity to use your taxonomy and metadata expertise, together with your training skills to help support the management of the digital information for some of the greatest palaces ever built. You will handle a huge
range of digital media assets, including images, videos and published documents that relate to the history and development of these amazing palaces. As part of a wider information management programme you will deliver a quality service to anyone creating or
accessing our digital assets management system (DAM).
A big part of your work will be writing guidance, delivering training and promoting the principles and practices of industry standard management of digital assets to staff across HRP.
To meet a challenge like this, you will have proven experience in records management, ideally gained in a heritage, museum, gallery or library environment. Knowledge of metadata and cataloguing are essential too. What’s more, you should
have great time-management skills, a customer-focused approach, good attention to detail and a genuine interest in our conservation work.
Although based at Hampton Court Palace, there will be an occasional requirement to work at other palaces.
Closing date: 18 September 2016
Pay Range: 8 - £28,688 (pro rata)
