The Archaeology Data Service (ADS) provides digital data archiving services for UK archaeology. It is based in the University of York but works closely with external partners, both in Higher Education and in the public and commercial archaeological sectors. All archived data is available Open Access and ADS funding is equally split between data deposit charges and research and consultancy, including a number of international projects. The ADS also manages the highly regarded Open Access journal, Internet Archaeology. Currently around a dozen staff are employed.

- Assisting in the preparation, production and maintenance of webpages.
- Responding professionally to general enquiries about ADS services and escalating complex issues accordingly.
- Undertaking directed and self-directed informal and formal training.

**Skills, Experience & Qualification needed**:
You should have:

- A general education to include 5 GCSE passes at Grade 4 (C) or above, including Maths and English, or equivalent educational qualifications.
- An ability to make effective use of standard office computer systems including word-processing, spreadsheets, and databases
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- An ability to work on your own initiative, with appropriate guidance/direction
- Good accuracy and attention to detail; and be able to complete tasks on time and to a specified standard

You should also set high professional and personal standards, with the ability to work flexibly, away from the office if required, to adapt to change and service improvements, and be motivated towards good customer service. You should have a willingness to keep updated, learn new skills and receive relevant training as required.

**Interview date**: 2 June (TBC)

The University strives to be diverse and inclusive - a place where we can ALL be ourselves.
