Be part of our transformation.

Archives matter. Without records, we could not hold government to account, carry out pioneering research or learn from the past. The National Archives is the archive of UK Government and the courts. Our business strategy, Archives for Everyone, describes our vision to become an inclusive, entrepreneurial, and disruptive archive that harnesses emerging technology to reaffirm and transform our historic mission for the digital age.

The Cataloguing, Taxonomy and Data department’s role is to deliver the control, quality, currency and ongoing development of our catalogue records and the systems in which they reside. We specialise in manipulating and enhancing at scale the metadata which lies at the heart of activities across the organisation.

You’ll validate, transform and process complex textual data, working across SQL, JSON, and XML-based structures to ensure that the UK’s digital history remains structured, searchable, and usable.

This is a full time post. However, requests for part-time working, flexible working and job share will be considered, taking into account at all times the operational needs of the Department.

A combination of onsite and home working is available and applicants should be able to regularly travel to our Kew site for a minimum of 60% of their work time.

The selection process will consist of:

Initial written application
Phone interviews w/c 16th June
Candidates who are successful following the phone interviews will be invited to an onsite technical test and interview on 2nd & 3rd July 2025
