This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced secretary/administrator with audio transcription skills to join a nationally important project supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, exploring and sharing an important area of the nation's history and heritage.
“Therapeutic Living With Other People's Children: An oral history of residential therapeutic child care c. 1930 – c.1980” is an ambitious project of discovery related to schools, homes and environments for children and young people during a period of dynamic change in residential therapeutic child care. It is based at the Planned Environment Therapy Trust in Toddington, Gloucestershire, in its Archive and Study Centre, which is internationally unique in being devoted to this area of the heritage. The Planned Environment Therapy Trust is a Registered Charity, No. 248633.
As part of a small and flexible team, you will support the Project Director, archivist and oral historian with your personal, administrative, secretarial and transcription skills, and liaise with the Trust's Financial Officer on budgetary matters. Up to 50% of your time will be available for transcribing newly recorded interviews. You will have opportunities to work with volunteers, take part in Project events, and develop new skills in Internet tools and management.
As you will see and handle confidential material, and because of the nature of the project, an enhanced CRB check will be required for the successful applicant (paid for by the Project!)..
