**About NHM Unlocked**

Over 300 scientists based at the Museum tackle important global challenges, spanning mineral scarcity, food security and biodiversity loss. The Museum is globally renowned for excellence in science and research and championing digital capacity and innovation.

The Museum has been awarded a substantial government investment of £182m, to create a new science and digitisation centre at Thames Valley Science Park (TVSP) which is owned by the University of Reading. This is a once in a century opportunity to shape the future of the Museum, protect and share our unique collection and further our science.

The Programme is made up of several major projects and workstreams which encompass:

- Designing and building the new centre, including collections, lab and other specialist spaces.
- Preparing and moving tens of millions of specimens from across multiple sites to the new centre. This role sits within this project (Moves Project).
- Developing staffing and technology models for the new centre.
- Ensuring we pass successive government gateways for progressing the programme.
- Developing new and retaining existing research and other partnerships.
- Developing KPIs and benefits mapping, to provide information to senior managers, Trustees and DCMS as our funders.
- Engaging colleagues and professional users of our collections in the process and shaping of the new centre.

**The Moves Project**

The new centre will include a large collections store alongside new specialist laboratories and non-technical works spaces. As part of this development, the Museum will be moving over a third of its 80 million specimens and Library and Archive collections from its four sites (in London, Hertfordshire and Yorkshire) to the new site, plus undertaking substantial internal moves.

In addition to the need to catalogue, prepare, pack and move specimens and objects, there is also the requirement to move specialist laboratory equipment. The moves are currently scheduled to take place from 2027, with preparation having already commenced.

**About the role**

The Museum is seeking a Registrar with expertise in Collections Management Processes and Documentation to join the Museum’s Unlocked Programme. Working closely with core Moves Delivery Team this role will be pivotal in ensuring that the activities of the Programme meet Collections Policy and collections best practice standards. With over 30 million items moving throughout the lifetime of the project you will need to be confident in understanding what best practice looks like and be able to work pragmatically within the aims of the Programme while understanding implications for standard practice and the Museum's collections policies. The role will work across all the diverse collection types in the Museum and create new processes and guidance including a significance review framework, transport standards for the movement of collections between sites, and updating acquisition and documentation processes to support the Museum's enhanced digitisation goals (internally referred to as 'digital on acquisition'). As well as this you will support curatorial teams across the Museum undertaking rationalisation and tackling historic documentation. To achieve this, you will be working with a wide range of people with different expertise, and you will need excellent interpersonal skills and a strong team ethos.
