Documentation Assistant Required

We are looking for a Documentation Assistant to join our team and help with the collections work needed for our Past Forward project.

This entry level job offers invaluable experience of working in a museum, gaining an understanding and overview of working with collections and supporting a major redisplay project.

The Documentation Assistant will support the Collections Manager and the Project Curator.  Working with volunteers they will take objects off display, check their condition and remove them to storage.  This process will be documented on computerised and paper records and involve taking and working with digital images.

The role will give the opportunity for a motivated individual to begin to develop a network of professional contacts, to gain teamwork, project and collections management skills and knowledge and to apply this learning in a practical environment.

We would particularly welcome applicants with lived experience from the communities under-represented in our museum: people from low-income backgrounds; those with disabilities including physical, mental and invisible conditions; people from ethnic minority backgrounds and those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Role supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
