The University of Northampton is looking to recruit a University Archivist to manage its archival collections:

https://www.northampton.ac.uk/about-us/services-and-facilities/archives/

The archive is currently housed in the University’s Development Hub near our Waterside Campus and we are looking for an archivist who can work unsupervised to develop the collection, including identifying new acquisitions, and who can open up the collection to our scholarly and local communities. The post will involve managing student, staff and visitor access to the collection, as well as managing volunteers.

The post will also involve promoting the use of the collections in teaching, learning and research, and where applicable working with academic staff to design and deliver learning opportunities to student groups. Please note, the Searchlight Archive is managed separately by UON History staff.

We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual. We understand this may vary between different areas of the university as well as from one person to another.  With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.

You must have experience of working unsupervised within an archive setting, including a thorough understanding of archival standards, regulations and practice, including digital archives and handling born digital content.

You will have experience of working with a wide range of stakeholders, including information professionals, researchers, schools and the general public. 

You will also have experience of using archives in learning, teaching and research, including the delivery of teaching and learning opportunities. 

You must also have excellent organisational skills and the ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing, face-to-face and online, internally and externally.
