£28,979 - £32,666 per year

Full-Time

We are looking for a committed and enthusiastic individual to join the Council’s Information Governance team, to support the development of a digital preservation programme and consult on diverse Council projects to ensure that best practice in records and archives management is embedded in Council business from the start.

We’re looking for someone motivated to make a difference in a subject area that requires technical knowledge as well as analytical and communication skills. You will need to engage colleagues around the challenges and opportunities of digital preservation and information management, and work with them to appraise, secure and maintain their digital records. Our citizens depend on us getting this right to ensure services are provided in the best way and that their long-term rights to hold us to account are maintained. Tenacity, attention to detail, and a willingness to innovate are a must.

You will need to have some prior experience of working in an archives or records management setting. You must also be comfortable writing or reviewing procedures and guidance, as well as advising colleagues and stakeholders on archives and records management issues.

As an archives and records management professional, we expect you to know relevant professional standards and legislation already. In particular, we also need you to have some knowledge of digital preservation and electronic records management standards and best practice.

We would also like you to know about Scottish local government functions and Microsoft 365 records management functionality. This is not essential, but prior knowledge would be an advantage.

We are committed to supporting your development as a digital recordkeeping specialist, while offering you a wide range of information governance activities, projects, and training to get involved in.
