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.

We are looking for an archive trainee with strong communication skills and a commitment to delivering a high-quality, welcoming public service. Working on a rota basis, you will contribute to a range of front-of-house and behind-the-scenes activities, including reception duties and document production.

You will also use a variety of IT applications to support the delivery of services, helping ensure that our historic records remain accessible and that visitors receive a positive and engaging experience.

Key Requirements

This role is based within a busy and demanding public service environment, and you will need the stamina to work at pace while maintaining a high standard of service. A reasonable level of physical fitness is required, as the role involves the regular handling, lifting, and carrying of documents—typically up to 10kg—from the strongrooms.

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

This is a fixed-term opportunity designed to provide practical experience within an archive service, supporting public access to unique and historically significant collections. You will develop skills in customer service, document handling, and the use of archive and information systems.

Working as part of a supportive team, you will contribute directly to preserving and sharing Warwickshire’s heritage, while gaining insight into the day-to-day operations of a busy record office.
