You will join a small Digitisation Team, primarily based at the Museum of Natural History, where you will play a key role in preparing, handling and digitising important zoological and botanical collections. Working with delicate and irreplaceable specimens, you will capture high-quality images and metadata using established digitisation workflows, ensuring accuracy while maintaining the highest standards of collections care.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to a nationally significant project that will improve access to biodiversity collections for research, education and conservation.

This is a full-time, fixed-term post for 18 months.

About You
You will have exceptional attention to detail and manual dexterity, enabling you to handle delicate and irreplaceable museum specimens with care and precision. You will be confident using Microsoft Office applications and have experience working with collections management systems or relational databases, alongside experience checking and verifying data accurately.

You will be able to follow detailed workflows consistently while maintaining high standards during repetitive tasks, and will be organised with excellent planning and prioritisation skills. You will communicate effectively with colleagues, volunteers and external partners and be equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative team.
