The Records Management Service is a Council-wide function that supports and advises other services to keep reliable evidence of their activities.

You will make sure our valuable records are easily accessible when needed, playing a part in ensuring they are preserved and protected to support the decisions of the future.

In addition to this, we will help you to develop your professional skills through a tailored learning programme.


It's a great time to join our small team on our journey as we expand to new internal customers and you will help to build and maintain relationships with colleagues from a wide range of council services.
