Collections Officer

We are pleased to share an exciting opportunity to join our collections team.

To support our major transition and relocation to the restored Maryfield Tram Depot, we will be recruiting a Collections Officer on a 12-month fixed-term contract to help ready the collection for the move.

The Collections Officer will work closely with the Curator and wider team to:

• Identify, assess and prepare objects for relocation to Maryfield in line with the new displays and storage plans.
• Improve collections documentation, cataloguing and records on the collections management system.
• Support the administration and documentation of loans in and out.
• Assist with object review and de-accessioning activity as part of a strategic effort to improve the health, focus and manageability of the collection, following recognised professional and ethical guidance.
• Assist with research to continue to build knowledge about the museum collection.

This role will suit an early - to mid-career museum professional with experience of collections documentation and handling, who enjoys methodical work, problem-solving around legacy collections, and working as part of a small, busy team.

Final date to receive applications is Friday 11th September. Interviews expected to take place during the week commencing 21st September.
