This is a unique opportunity to use your records management
expertise and organisational skills to help support the preservation
of some of the greatest palaces ever built.  You will handle a huge
range of the digital, written and photographic records, many of
which relate to our highly-specialised conservation work.  You will
ensure that our records and archive assets that are both digital and
non-digital are organised to the standards of records practices and
accessible.  You'll also deliver a quality service to anyone needing
to access this information.  A big part of your work will be in
assisting our Records Officer in writing guidance and training staff
on the principles and practices of industry standard management of
information, and contribute to embedding our retention schedule, and
exploration of a document management system for our organisation,
which is just part of our drive to become an organise that practices
correct records management.

To meet a challenge like this, you'll need an information management
qualification, ideally gained in a collections-focussed environment
such as a museum or library.  Knowledge of archive management and
cataloguing are essential too.  What's more, you should have great
time-management skills, a customer-focused approach, good attention
to detail and a genuine interest in our conservation work.

Although based at Hampton Court Palace, there will be an occasional
requirement to work at other palaces.
