EMPLOYEUR & CONTEXTE :
About Barnardo’s : At Barnardo’s we believe in children – no matter who they are, what they have done or what they have been through. Please read about our basis and values following the link below. You will be asked questions relating to them as part of the recruitment process for this role. Barnardo’s is committed to having a diverse and inclusive workforce for staff and volunteers. We actively encourage applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic and male candidates as they are under-represented within Barnardo’s.
Context : Since 1867, Barnardo’s archival collections have continuously captured the role the charity has played in supporting hundreds of thousands of children and families through vital services, projects, research and campaigns. Essentially, they illustrate the large influence the charity has had on the progress of social welfare policy and practice for children in the UK, during the last two centuries.
Thus far, the Archive Service has only had the facilities and resources to support a small number of key research projects, therefore, the aim of the ‘Transforming Lives: Cataloguing the history of social welfare and health at Barnardo’s (1867 – 1980)’ project, funded by a Wellcome Trust Research Resources Award is to raise awareness of the value of these collections, increase levels of access and more widely engage with health-related humanities and social science research audiences.
Making Connections is seeking to appoint a Project Archivist to undertake a two year project entitled ‘Transforming Lives : Cataloguing the history of social welfare and health at Barnardo’s (1867 – 1980)’, funded by a Wellcome Trust Research Resources Award. The aim of the project is to catalogue two of Barnardo’s key collections and to increase levels of access, as well as more widely engage with health-related humanities and social science research audiences.
