Purpose of the job

To work with the DPA’s Lead Development Worker and Access and Inclusion Worker to develop and promote our collection, support researchers to access our movement’s history, and promote disability equality and co-production in the libraries, archives, and heritage world. 

The post holder will be responsible, with their colleagues, for cataloguing our collection, consulting with partner organisations on the barriers disabled people face when accessing information and historical resources, support developing workshops for researchers and other professionals, and promoting the archive through public events and social media. 

Please note at the beginning of the role, it will be necessary for the project worker’s hours to overlap significantly with those of the Archive Lead (Monday-Thursday) to support the new starter’s development and make them familiar with the collection. These hours will be reviewed by the GMCDP manager as the post progresses.
