SENIOR FINDS OFFICER / FINDS OFFICER (Iron Age/Roman Pottery)

As one of the leading archaeological practices in Britain we are looking to strengthen our CA-wide specialist team and to ensure we have the capacity and breadth of skills to maintain our own high standards of service.

We are seeking a highly motivated Finds Officer or Senior Finds Officer to join our well-respected and successful Publications team, and to ensure timely delivery of our Post-Excavation obligations. Responsibilities will include the co-ordination and undertaking of finds project work, general spot dating, contributing to our community and research work, providing specialist advice to colleagues and contributing to the successful co-ordination of the CA finds work programme, as well as  ensuring the quality standards of our work, and improving efficiency across the organisation.

You will have demonstrable specialist ceramic knowledge (essentially Iron Age and Roman pottery of eastern England), a proven track record in archaeological publication, and experience of computer applications used for the recording and analysis of archaeological finds. Most importantly you will be an excellent and proactive communicator, capable of working both individually and as part of a wider project team. Ideally you will be full-time and based in our Suffolk office, but for the right candidate we would consider flexible working. Although the post is based in Suffolk, as part of the wider CA Finds team, there will be the opportunity to work on assemblages from across southern Britain.

You will require excellent time-management and organisational skills to ensure the successful delivery of a busy work programme to industry standards and within budget and to deadline. Ideally you are already a member of CIfA (or able to demonstrate that you meet the requirements for membership) and relevant specialist Finds groups, and possess a full manual driving licence.

In return we are able to offer assistance with relocation expenses in addition to an attractive benefits package which includes 23 days annual leave (rising with service), paid sick leave, life assurance, Employee Assistance Program and a pension scheme.

For an informal discussion please contact our Finds Manager: Grace Jones (07803 626180) or the Principal PX Manager: Jo Caruth (07764 371411), or email careers@cotswoldarchaeology.co.uk.
