You will manage a small team (currently one member of staff) but need to work with colleagues from across the archives.

You will also develop TNA services to support the work of the Victims Payment Board with regards to The National Archives Collection. You will liaise with senior colleagues from The National Archives and, where necessary, the Victims Payment Board, ensuring demands of service are clearly and expertly conveyed with a focus on user needs.
