Fixed Term, Full Time

Up to £25,679 per annum

Location: Chelmsford

The role can be undertaken almost entirely remotely but has an expectation that the successful candidate will attend the office, in Chelmsford, to spend occasional short periods of time e.g., 5 days once or twice a year, so a willingness to travel to and be based in Chelmsford, Essex occasionally is essential.

The Opportunity

Place Services is a multi-disciplinary consultancy within Essex County Council providing environmental and planning services to the Council, local authorities and other public bodies. Our purpose is to support the public sector to deliver sustainable development. The purpose of the Assistant Historic Environment Record Officer is to support the management and enhancement of the Essex Historic Environment Record (HER).

The post-holder(s) will support the transfer of data from the National Record of the Historic Environment (NRHE) to the HER, and the systematic enhancement of the Essex HER in line with national standards and best practice guidance. The role will include training and will provide an opportunity to gain significant experience in heritage data management, including the use of databases and GIS.

The post-holder will be required to clearly, rapidly, and accessibly synthesise and index information related to the historic environment. The role therefore requires a good knowledge of British archaeology of all periods and a good understanding of historic environment information management. These should be complemented by a thorough and methodical approach, excellent written English, strong ICT skills and attention to detail.
