You will deliver preservation and conservation services designed to
make the collection available to a diverse range of stakeholders as
part of the Unexplored Riches in Medical History Project funded by

programme. This will involve providing both advice and the practical
implementation of a preservation programme for The Children's
Society's children's case files (late 19th - early 20th century) and
other related archive documents, as set out in the business plan for
the project. You will also supervise and help train a small team of

vouchers and flexible working.
