Job Details:

Job Reference: HCC623898
Salary Range: £40,643 - £45,077 per annum
Work Location: Hampshire Record Office, Winchester
Hours per week: 37
Contract Type: Permanent
Closing Date: 13 July 2026
Interview Date: w/c 27 July 2026

Step into a leadership role at Hampshires Archives, helping to manage 8 miles of archive treasures. As Archives Collections Manager, you’ll help shape how we organise, develop and care for collections that matter – unique records, images, film and born-digital archives that help communities, researchers and decision-makers understand the past and navigate the future.

The Role:

You’ll lead an experienced specialist team (including archivists, a digital archivist and a film curator) and bring together paper, audio-visual and digital collections so they’re preserved, discoverable and ready to be used. This is a role for someone who enjoys combining professional rigour with practical problem-solving—and who can inspire others to do their best work.

What you’ll do:

You’ll take the lead on accessioning, cataloguing and storage management, with a particular focus on making the most of strongroom space and ensuring our collections are managed to high professional standards.

Working closely with the Archives Operations Manager, you’ll help plan and deliver digital preservation activity and steer improvements to our collections management system – so staff and users can find what they need quickly and confidently.

As a member of the management team, you’ll also contribute to service-wide priorities such as Accreditation readiness, business continuity and health and safety, whilst building positive relationships with depositors, partners and stakeholders. The role includes occasional evening and weekend work to support hires and events, and you’ll play a part in encouraging wider use of the service through outreach and digital channels.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll be a qualified archives professional (recognised postgraduate qualification or equivalent) with significant experience working at a professional level and the confidence to make sound, well-reasoned decisions, and this might be your first step into an archives management role.

You understand what “good” looks like in collections work, including the standards that underpin Archive Service Accreditation, and you bring the leadership skills to manage, motivate and develop a team.

You’re comfortable in a digital environment, and are familiar with collections management systems and digital preservation tools. You can communicate clearly and credibly with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels. You’ll bring political awareness, sensitivity and the ability to lead across teams to the role.

Why join us?

Hampshire County Council is recognised nationally as one of the highest performing local authorities in the UK. A modern, forward-looking local authority, it offers a pleasant, supportive, and collaborative working environment.

Our benefits package includes details of the holiday entitlement, pension scheme, flexi-time scheme, family friendly policies and interest free travel loans and discounts. We offer a flexible, motivating and inclusive workplace. We have created an environment that you can look forward to being a part of, where you are empowered to be your best and a workplace built on teamwork where people can grow and develop in their roles.

If this sound like the job for you, please get in touch.
