As a result of maternity leave, we are now seeking to appoint a
textile conservator on a full-time, temporary basis, to help meet
the significant conservation challenge of preserving the collection
in its original setting for the foreseeable future.  The position
calls for an individual with proven conservation experience and a
strong understanding of conservation science, theory, principles and
ethics.

You will work as part of an energetic professional team on practical
conservation projects and exhibitions governed by very tight
deadlines.  We look to everyone in the team to play an active part
in building the department's reputation as a world-class textile
conservation service.

Good problem solving and communication skills are essential,
together with a well-organised and self-motivated approach.  This
would be an ideal appointment for someone who has recently completed
a formal qualification in textile conservation.
