On the retirement of our current adviser Glastonbury Abbey is seeking to appoint a Consultant Archaeologist to advise trustees on archaeological strategy, policy, excavation or watching briefs on site as appropriate, recording, and publication and archiving of archaeological records.
They will work with the Historic Buildings Consultant on recording and survey of the standing ruins as required and the Director and Head of Estates.
The Consultant will report to the Director and provide regular reports to trustees as required.
It is expected that there will be an initial handover period where the appointed consultant will work alongside the current Archaeological Adviser.
