Vacancy for Assistant Archivist at Parliamentary Archives
Location: Hybrid
Contract Type: Fixed Term
We are looking for 2 Assistant Archivists to join the Parliamentary Archives based in the House of Lords. This position involves a full range of Collections Management activities, including accessioning and cataloguing, alongside supporting public access to the Parliamentary Archives through outreach activities, answering enquiries, and searchroom supervision.
Please note the post involves working extensively with Axiell CALM and Preservica, as well as Orangeleaf, CollectionsBase, and Microsoft Excel.
The role requires handling historic documents; manual handling (lifting, carrying, using a trolley); use of ladders; some work in confined spaces; and some lone working. Many tasks involve working in the Victoria Tower (up to the 12th floor), so candidates must be comfortable using a small lift and also able to use a spiral staircase in the event of a drill or evacuation.
This is an exciting opportunity to prepare for one of the biggest changes in our history. The post would suit a methodical, accurate, and logical individual who enjoys working with digital systems and is familiar with handling large amounts of data and archive collections, regardless of format.
