Details: Are you passionate about the preservation and acquisition of materials that capture and document the history of Canberra? Do you have a wealth of library or archiving experience and want to influence the way materials and collections are acquired and presented? Do you enjoy leading a team of like-minded individuals in the delivery of outcomes?
If so, we want to hear from you!
Libraries ACT is on the hunt for an experienced and motivated Heritage professional, someone who has extensive library and archive experience and is an excellent stakeholder manager, to lead the team at the ACT Heritage Library.
ACT Heritage Library plays an invaluable role in collecting and documenting the life and history of Canberra and Canberrans to ensure it isn’t lost to future generations. It can be pretty full-on, but the reward you get from stretching yourself and realising the impact you make has value.
Libraries ACT mirrors the vibrancy of the community it serves, constantly re-inventing itself to meet community needs and expectations. As a branch within Transport Canberra City Services, we offer you more than a job – the work we do supporting the people of Canberra is work nobody else does. Canberra is a growing, vibrant, and every-changing city and our genuine commitment to reflect the diverse community of Canberra means our people are exposed to a diversity of perspectives and experiences.
This is a great opportunity to work in a diverse, challenging, and dynamic organisation where each day you will have the opportunity to do something different – so get in quick to express your interest now!
