We are looking to recruit Project Supervisors along with Project Officers and Senior Project Officers who are ready to take the next step in their career and able to lead large and complex archaeological projects.

All of our Project Supervisors and Project Officers are expected to take leading roles in the publication of our work; publication, dissemination and outreach being the fundamental drivers for everything we do.

For all roles, membership of the CIfA at PCIfA level is desirable (or able to demonstrate that you meet the requirements and a commitment to join if appointed).
