Museum Collection Inventory Assistant

Our collection at Glenesk Folk Museum has been amassed over almost 70 years. It now requires an updated inventory. This means undertaking a stock take of all our objects, ensuring the records we hold on them are correctly updated and that we can locate objects easily within our stores. If you enjoy detail conscious work, are a good team worker and can cope with the repetitive nature of this type of work in a Museum store environment, we would love to hear from you.
