Richmond, United Kingdom The National Archives Full time

The Conservator - Archive Materials is part of a team of conservation professionals responsible for the preservation of The National Archives’ physical collection through interventive and preventive means.

This role will be a fixed-term, six month contract with potential extension.

The aim of this role is to prolong the life of the collection while also maximising access to the archival records and enhancing the experience of our users. This is achieved through a combination of special projects and on-going programmes, taking the lead as required and working together with colleagues across the organisation as well as external visitors and stakeholders.

You will have an extensive knowledge of paper conservation practice, and a specialism in all aspects of archival collections, bringing excellent practical and research skills as well as an informed approach to delivery of conservation treatments in line with current conservation standards. Ongoing projects focus on, for example, the survey of limp parchment bindings, managing photographic material in archival collections, and modern materials in The National Archives’ BT design register series.

You will take a full role in the on-going development of collection care within The National Archives by actively engaging in data collecting, research, knowledge sharing, teaching and mentoring others, planning, organising and helping to deliver departmental projects and actively promoting the work of the department across The National Archives and to a wider professional community.

Some home working is available and applicants must be able to regularly travel to our Kew site.

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.

We would particularly like to encourage applicants from backgrounds currently underrepresented in archives, including those who identify as Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT+), from Black, Asian and minority ethnic cultural backgrounds, those who are neurodivergent, and those with hidden or visible disabilities.
