We are recruiting an Archives Assistant  (to end December 2021) to work on the V&A’s Blythe House Decant project.

The Museum is now preparing for a major collections move from its current storage facility at Blythe House to a new Collections and Research Centre. This role will work with our Project Archivists (one full time, one part time) and our teams of curatorial and archival staff based at Blythe House, to prepare our internationally significant archival collections for the move.  The V&A Museum is an accredited archive service and our archives include the UK’s National Collection of Performing Arts held in the Department of Theatre and Performance, the V&A Archive and the Archive of Art and Design.

The role offers an excellent opportunity to work on a large-scale collection move project and to develop your experience of archive collections handling, rehousing and barcoding. You’ll be a team player with excellent attention to detail and some experience of working with archival collections

Please note that the V&A is unable to sponsor visa applications.

'Please note this is an internal only vacancy, open to current staff, volunteers of the V&A and former V&A employees who left after 01 April 2020. Those currently on furlough leave are of course welcome to apply.'

Closing date for receipt of applications is 04 October 2020 at 23:59.

Interviews will be held on 13 October 2020 (to be confirmed).
