Historic Royal Palaces is the organisation responsible for
conserving, maintaining and presenting some of the world's most
famous heritage sites including Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of
London, Kew Palace, Kensington Palace State Apartments and the
Banqueting House, Whitehall.

We are seeking to appoint an individual to the specialist role of
Preventive Conservator. Reporting to the Senior Preventive
Conservator at Hampton Court Palace, this full time role will form
part of the Conservation and Collections Care team. Key
responsibilities will include daily cleaning and safeguarding
routines (involving work at height from scaffolding and the manual
handling of diverse artefacts), as well as preventative conservation
duties such as environmental monitoring, pest control management and
regular condition reporting.

Ideally you will be a graduate from a recognised
conservation-training programme. You will seek to build on knowledge
of passive conservation by gaining practical experience working in a
delicate heritage environment. As a team player, you will be
motivated to achieve goals by working closely with your colleagues
in a reactive environment. This position will be based at Hampton
Court Palace; however, you will occasionally work from the other
palaces in the organisation, as required. Hours of work may include
