We have a new opportunity for a Project Manager with a heritage or education background to manage the implementation of our project ‘Opening Up Scotland’s Archives’. This is an exciting new Skills for the Future programme funded under the Heritage Lottery Fund to broaden access routes to working in archives and to diversify the archives workforce.

Experience of heritage skills, education programmes or partnerships and consortium working would be advantageous but not necessary.
