London, United Kingdom The National Archives Full time

Senior Archivist (Digital Development and Data Curation)
Archives matter. Without records, we could not hold government to account, carry out pioneering research or learn from the past. The National Archives is the archive of UK Government and the courts. Our business strategy, Archives for Everyone, describes our vision to become an inclusive, entrepreneurial, and disruptive archive that harnesses emerging technology to reaffirm and transform our historic mission for the digital age.
The Cataloguing, Taxonomy and Data department’s role is to deliver the control, quality, currency and ongoing development of our catalogue records and the systems in which they reside. We are based in the beautiful surroundings of Kew, easily accessible by public transport, car and bike. Our excellent Civil Service benefits package includes the opportunity to join the defined-benefit Civil Service Alpha Pension Scheme.
This Senior Archivist leads our State of the Catalogue programme to address legacies of our transition from paper finding aids to digital catalogues. In the coming years, the infrastructure and methods for managing and presenting the content of our catalogue will change significantly as we update our technology and handle ever-increasing amounts of data about our physical and digital collections. You will contribute significantly to this ongoing work and collaborate with colleagues across The National Archives.
As an expert cataloguer, you enjoy working with data and thinking creatively to solve problems. This is a full-time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the department. A combination of onsite and home working is available. Please apply via your employee Workday account.
You will be asked to provide details of your work experience and write a personal statement. You may draw on knowledge, skills, abilities, experience gained from paid work, domestic responsibilities, education, leisure interests and voluntary activities. Professional qualification in archives and records management (or a related subject) or equivalent experience, with a passion and enthusiasm for archival practice, metadata and the application of digital technologies to archival resources.
Demonstrable experience of managing or leading cataloguing projects and of cataloguing a variety of types of records from different time periods.
Excellent understanding of descriptive standards and presentational requirements for both digital and analogue archives.
Experience of analysing and manipulating substantial datasets, including expertise in using Microsoft Excel and familiarity with Encoded Archival Description (EAD) or another XML schema.
Ability to take tasks and projects to completion and manage competing priorities, together with strong professional motivation and a commitment to personal development.
