Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums are advertising a vacancy for a permanent, part time Assistant Archives Officer (Digital).

This is an exciting opportunity to join the team at Tyne and Wear Archives.

Tyne and Wear Archives is an accredited joint service for the five Tyne and Wear districts and is based in Discovery Museum, Newcastle, one of the largest free museums in the north of England.
