Guidance, Training and Events Adviser

The National Archives secures the future of the Public Record, preserving it for the nation and making it accessible for future generations of policy makers, researchers, students and citizens. Our collection spans almost 1000 years and is one of the largest in the world, containing over 11 million records from medieval parchment to modern papers, digital files, datasets, websites, tweets, and computer code. The National Archives is the archive of UK government and provides leadership to the wider UK archives sector.

Based within the Government Services and Strategic Engagement department, the Strategic Compliance team provides advice, guidance, and services to help government departments fulfil their obligations under the Public Records Act. We advise departments on their legal responsibilities, offer guidance on records management, and support them through the eventual disposition of their public records – including transferring records of enduring historical value to The National Archives in a timely way. This ensures that that vital public records survive for the benefit of the nation.

The Guidance Training and Events Adviser role will be responsible for supporting and ensuring guidance is up to date, researched, maintained, and fully accessible to a varied government audience promoting best practice in information management so that guidance is published in a transparent, efficient, and co-ordinated manner. This role will support the information management functions, of government ensuring that a complete, reliable record can be created, managed, appraised, selected and transferred for the benefit of future generations through continuous improvement of our published guidance and enabling the development and delivery of our training and events content.
