Just heard that a receptionist at work has handed in her notice - London, Vauxhall area for a charity.
Its part time evenings / weekends (approx 20 hours? not sure) so its very suitable for students or as a 2nd job. It's an easy job, in pleasant enviroment.
Anyway job isn't advertised yet as far as I know, and I dont think they have anyone ready to replace her. PM me if interested.

I read it though my main jobsearching is done through the Indeed website (indeed.co.uk) because that aggregates together adverts from all sorts of sources.
 
ooo, archive and admin very tempting, I'd be great at that but it would be a big wage drop.

Might be worth it to enjoy my days instead of loathing them though... One to think about.

The following job opportunity is now available at the Heritage Motor Centre at Gaydon near Warwick.

BRITISH MOTOR INDUSTRY HERITAGE TRUST

Job Title: Archive Assistant Traineeship

Salary: £17,500 per annum (with optional workplace pension scheme)

Duration: 18 months

Reports to: Archivist

Closing Date for Applications: 17 August 2015

Overview of the role

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT) has received funding from Arts Council England (ACE) to offer opportunities for trainees. This post will last for 18 months and provide experience in all types of professional archive work.

The post offers an excellent opportunity for those who wish to gain experience of working in the archive sector but who currently face a barrier to obtaining an entry level post. Examples of such obstacles could be lack of relevant experience or postgraduate qualifications, scarcity of available posts in this field, personal circumstances, financial difficulties, the effects of redundancy or a change in career. We also encourage applications from those who are currently under-represented throughout this sector nationally, for example members of minority ethnic groups or people with disabilities.

Trainees will benefit from involvement with a full range of archive tasks, from the ‘behind-the-scenes’ sorting, organising, and cataloguing of historic material, to the more public-facing role of assisting researchers using our Reading Room service.

Who would benefit most from this traineeship?

All postgraduate archive courses require that candidates gain significant experience of working in an archive before they apply. This traineeship is specifically designed to offer candidates the work experience they will need before they can put themselves forward for professional training. It is not aimed at (but does not exclude) anyone who already has extensive experience of working in an archive, who is already qualified, or who is already enrolled on a distance learning course.

The role is not intended to lead to permanent employment with the BMIHT Archive. Trainees will be encouraged to seek other training, employment and career opportunities at the end of the programme.

Objectives of the role
  • To assist with the sorting, organisation, boxing and labelling of all types of archive material.
  • To assist with documentation and cataloguing. This will include training in the use of our in-house cataloguing computer system. This will give the post-holder a working knowledge of essential standards such as ISAD(G) and ISAAR(CPF) which are used in archives throughout the UK.
  • To assist with environmental monitoring of storage areas and learn about the conditions required by archive material. This will enable the trainee to gain an understanding of the archive storage standard PD.5454.
  • To assist in making appointments for researchers who wish to access original archive material by using our Reading Room, and to help in producing and re-shelving material at the start and end of visits.
  • To undertake any other duties commensurate with the role.
Person Specification:

Essential
  • Undergraduate degree level or equivalent.
  • Eagerness to train and gain experience in an archive environment with the aspiration to pursue a career in archives.
  • Understanding of the nature and purpose of archives.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills.
  • Flexible, organised, self-motivated and reliable.
  • Good written and spoken English.
  • Attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Excellent communication skills, including the ability to produce written reports.
  • Ability to work with the public and enthusiasts.
  • Ability to work as part of a team and independently.
  • Full driving licence preferably with own vehicle (HMC is difficult to access by public transport).
  • Computer-literate, competent with Microsoft Office or similar applications and used to working with websites and social media.
Desirable
  • Volunteer experience in the heritage sector.
  • Experience with databases, though training will be provided.
  • Interest in the history of the motor industry and industrial/business/social history in general.
  • Willingness to contribute to social media and blogs as part of the archive team.
Any offer of appointment will be subject to satisfactory references and a medical questionnaire.




Please apply with CV and covering letter in the first instance, outlining your qualifications for the job and your reasons for applying to:
