Jobs & careers

We are pleased that you are interested in working at The National Archives. Our aim is to lead and transform information management; guarantee the survival of today's information for tomorrow and bring history to life for all. We can offer unique opportunities to work within the UK government's official archive, which contains 900 years of history from Domesday Book to the present with the potential to have a positive impact on the lives of millions of people in the UK and worldwide. We also provide leadership in the development of information policy across government and the wider public sector and have the ability to influence government departments to reuse information.

The National Archives has been extremely successful at making archives relevant to all through groundbreaking digitisation projects to make archival collections across the UK universally accessible. We serve a diverse market, from the information industry, government and the public sector and to the public, from the family historian to the student or anyone who is interested in history or curious about their past. Our work also helps to inform today's decisions and ensure that they become tomorrow's permanent record.

We are continually shaping our future strategy and direction to build on our success and take the organisation even further forward. We have a strong customer focused culture with a 'can do' approach, alongside strong staff talent and ability at all levels.

Our employees work in a wide range of jobs so archival or information management experience isn't always essential. What is essential is a passion for the customer, and a commitment to realising the potential of this organisation. If this describes you, we look forward to hearing from you.
