Your role
As a Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) Professional, you’ll ensure our information and data is managed and protected effectively now and into the future, all while shaping a rewarding career at the heart of HMGCC.
Acting as a subject matter expert, you’ll bring your experience to our organisation and deliver reliable, robust KIM services. You’ll help colleagues locate and access what they need, and advise stakeholders across HMGCC on how to manage and protect our sensitive material. With your expertise, you’ll promote best practice and ensure mission-critical information remain accessible, usable and secure. You’ll work alongside the Knowledge and Information team on a range of projects and in doing so, identify and drive improvements in the way we create, store and use information across our organisation.
It’s a role with scope across the whole of HMGCC, and plenty of opportunities to use and develop your skills. With ongoing training, including access to external courses and conferences where relevant, you’ll grow your specialist knowledge, too. You’ll also have our support towards further professional qualifications or chartership.
What you need
You’ll have an existing qualification in Information Management, Records and Archives Management or Librarianship. Or, you’ll hold professional accreditation or chartership with the Information and Records Management Society (IRMS), the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) or the Archives and Records Association (ARA).
This will be supported by significant experience within an information management role, working on electronic document and records management systems and advising users on information management best practice.
You’ll be a confident communicator, able to work collaboratively to understand peoples’ needs, solve problems and ensure successful outcomes. Committed to excellence, you’ll take ownership of projects and see them through to a high standard. Importantly, you’ll be proactive and seek to identify opportunities for innovation.
What we offer
In joining HMGCC, you’ll receive initial role and systems training. We place strong emphasis on continuous professional development, whether that’s relating to training on our tools and systems, mentoring and coaching, or internal courses and more substantial qualifications.
Alongside ongoing training and development, you’ll enjoy extensive benefits and access to our facilities. This includes 25 days’ annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), paid parental and adoption leave, a competitive pension scheme and an on-site nursery (subject to availability).
