About Us

The County Record Office preserves Warwickshire’s rich documentary heritage, with archives dating back to the 12th century.

Our busy public service welcomes nearly 3,000 visitors each year, supporting family historians, local researchers, and anyone with an interest in the county’s past. We are committed to making these historic records accessible, helping people uncover stories, trace connections, and explore Warwickshire’s heritage.

About the Role

This fixed-term (one-year) part-time (21 hours/ 0.57 FTE) post is part of the County Record Office’s Public Service Team, which plays a key role in welcoming visitors and supporting access to Warwickshire’s documentary heritage.

You will be expected to meet all the essential criteria outlined in the Person Specification. This position provides introductory experience for those interested in a career in archives or heritage.

What We Offer
