Position at Historic Royal Palaces

Preventive Conservator
Historic Royal Palaces
UKP14,091 - UKP15,961 (Based at Hampton Court Palace)

Historic Royal Palaces is the organisation responsible for
preserving, presenting and managing some of the world's most famous
and important heritage attractions, including the Tower of London,
Hampton Court Palace, Kensington Palace 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 evenings and weekends.
