You will facilitate access to the digital archive ensuring that it meets the needs of users for rapid and accurate access.
We are looking for someone with:
-A degree in a relevant subject or equivalent experience
-Proven experience of dealing competently with the equipment, software applications, and techniques required to run a digital archive
-Experience of handling digital archive material in a wide range of image formats
-A systematic and accurate approach to documentation
-A good understanding of digital processes, particularly digital preservation best practice and tools
We are an equal opportunity employer which values diversity and inclusion. If you have a disability, we would be happy to discuss reasonable adjustments to the job with you. Having just won the Gold Award from MIND, we also recognize the importance of a healthy work -life balance. We offer a wide benefits package including a competitive pension scheme, a generous 28 days holiday, corporate discounts, free entry into English Heritage sites across the county and development opportunities to ensure you achieve your goals.
