  • London, London (region), TW9 4DUAbout the job

Job summary:

Domesday Book. Shakespeare's will. Tweets from Downing Street. War time records. These are just some of the 11 million items held by The National Archives.

With a collection like this - the largest in the world - it's no surprise that we handle between 5-10% of all Freedom of Information (FOI) requests received by the Government.

As an FOI Researcher, you'll have a great opportunity to work with closed historical records and make decisions regarding their access.

As a MoD Access Service Advisor, you'll work with military personnel records, carrying out research and responding to requests for open information held in this collection.

Join us and you'll work in an organisation that offers great support and exceptional benefits.

About the role
Working in a team of case handlers, supported by FOI/Access Managers, you will join one of two units within The National Archives:

  • our MOD Access team, managing FOI requests related to military personnel records, where you will develop a deep understanding of this unique collection, in order to respond to requests for access to open information. You will assist in coordinating, monitoring and tracking the requests and customer correspondence to ensure they are being processed appropriately and will assist case officers and Access Managers in ensuring all request data is managed properly

About you


Both roles require you to have good decision making and communication skills, as well as the ability to organise a potentially heavy, sensitive and demanding workload, working to tight deadlines.

Some cases may be complex and/or of a highly personal and sensitive nature, which will require careful handling and escalation.

You will therefore need to be flexible, organised and motivated in your approach to meet the demands of this role.
