Overview:
Sightsavers is looking for an enthusiastic Archivist to manage an extensive library of content at an exciting time for Sightsavers, having transitioned to a new asset management platform.

Salary
: £23,144 to £27,228 per annum (full time equivalent)
Location: UK remote/Hybrid (Stable, fast internet connection required so the role may benefit from weekly visits to Haywards Heath office)
Contract: 3-month Fixed Term Contract
Hours: Full time/part time/job share will be considered. Some flexibility around hours worked.

Responsibilities:
Sightsavers is looking for a highly organised and collaborative Archivist to manage our vast library of content on a short-term basis, with particular focus on uploading the backlog of content that has developed as we changed our asset management platform to Asset Bank.

As Junior Archivist, you will work closely with the stories team, supporting them to log and prepare their content before upload, and also with the content producers, helping to source content and to upload finished comms content to the system.

Location and hours worked

This role can be completed remotely but due to the size of documents to be uploaded, a stable and high bandwidth internet connection is required. As this is available at our Haywards Heath office, the role may benefit from hybrid working.

This project is anticipated to take 3 months to complete at full time hours (35 hours per week). We welcome part time applications but please be aware that this may potentially extend the length of the contract.

We welcome some flexibility around hours worked but as this is a collaborative role, some hours will need to coincide with fellow team members.
