We also manage other important public spaces, including Brompton Cemetery and Victoria Tower Gardens. Our eight Royal Parks and other iconic green spaces are among the most visited attractions in the UK with tens of millions of visits every year.

We are now looking for a Community Archaeologist to join us on a full-time basis, for a three-year fixed-term contract. We will also consider part-time hours/job shares.

The Benefits

  • Salary of £42,631- £43,500 per annum, depending on experience

  • Hybrid/agile working options
  • Private medical insurance and healthcare cash plan
  • Employee assistance programme and access to mental health first aiders
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Offices in a beautiful location

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced field archaeologist to join our dedicated and nationally significant organisation.

You’ll have the chance to safeguard and reveal hidden heritage within beautiful and historic parks that are woven into the cultural and environmental fabric of the country, preserving their stories for future generations.

What’s more, you’ll benefit from a supportive and forward-thinking working environment alongside a generous benefits package that recognises the value of specialist expertise.

So, if you’re ready to bring your archaeological experience to a project that will shape heritage understanding for years to come, read on and apply today!

The Role

As a Community Archaeologist, you will lead the archaeological vision and project management for the National Lottery Heritage Fund–supported Lost Waterways Project across Greenwich, Richmond and Bushy Parks.

Providing professional archaeological direction throughout the project, you will oversee surveys of historic underground structures, analyse their condition and finalise reports to inform second-phase hydrological work.

You will also liaise closely with the Works team to guide structural interventions and conservation methods, while providing regular reporting to Project Boards and overseeing delivery in line with requirements.

Additionally, you will:

  • Develop and deliver a three-year programme of community digs
  • Line manage a direct report
  • Lead on-site volunteer co-ordination
  • Procure specialist surveying services
  • Manage specialist procurement and engagement with statutory bodies
  • Deliver presentations, tours and talks to external organisations to raise awareness of the project and NLHF funding

About You

To be considered as a Community Archaeologist, you will need:

  • Experience in field archaeological methods and practice, ideally to at least site supervisor level
  • Experience working with colleagues and the public to improve and enhance their understanding of the heritage and archaeology of a site
  • Experience of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Historic Environment Record (HER)
  • Experience of managing, motivating and developing direct reports
  • A degree or equivalent in archaeology, or a similar subject with a substantial archaeological element in the syllabus (e.g. landscape archaeology), or equivalent experience

Other organisations may call this role Archaeologist, Archaeology Project Manager, Senior Archaeologist, Heritage Project Manager, Heritage Project Archaeologist, Conservation Archaeologist, or Archaeological Site Manager.
