Digital Archive Assistant

FCDO Services is relied on by customers around the world, including the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, to keep their information and assets secure in a constantly changing world.

This is an opportunity to join our Sensitivity Review Service team, whose task is to determine whether Government paper and digital information should be released or withheld under Freedom of Information Act and Public Records Act exemptions.

Manage information of national importance

You will play an important part in the ongoing digitisation of archives, handling everything from microfiche scanning to the preparation of files prior to electronic transfer to The National Archives. You will also be responsible for the electronic redaction of both paper and digital material.

We're looking for someone who has a great eye for detail, especially when reviewing and editing information on screen, and who can manage their own complex workload effectively, even when facing tight deadlines. It's a small, close-knit team, so you'll need to be comfortable with collaborative working. And while a digital background is not strictly essential, it would be great if you had some previous experience, ideally in records and information management. Good knowledge of Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint is a must.

At FCDO Services, we work with the FCDO and other customers to protect the UK's interests at home and overseas. That means every role makes a difference. It also makes it a rich and rewarding environment in which to develop your career. Not only will you enjoy on-the-job training but you will also have excellent opportunities for development and progression, both within your team and the wider organisation.
