After successfully completing a 12-24 month development plan, you will be promoted to the senior position of Archival Storage Manager.

Every six weeks, you will be on a late rota, working from 10:50 am to 7 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Additionally, you will visit our offsite storage facility twice a year, which will require an overnight stay. This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.
