Conservation Studio Administrator

Zenzie Tinker Conservation is the largest independent textile conservation business in the UK. Our client base is wide and our work is fascinating.

We are seeking an experienced, full-time administrator with a real interest in conservation and the heritage sector to join our busy team in Brighton. We are keen to find someone committed enough to stay with us and help develop the business in the years ahead.

Our team of 10-12 textile and paper conservators undertake complex projects for a wide variety of clients. We need a team player who can take responsibility for dealing with everything from general office administration to the extraordinarily meticulous side of conservation documentation. The studio is always full of fascinating objects, their historic stories and many interesting clients; we need someone capable enough to help keep it running smoothly.

You will work closely with the Director/Lead Conservator running the administrative and finance side of our conservation business as well as project programming, supporting the conservation team in their work and helping to manage the studio day to day, including our extensive research library and study collection. You will also help update our WordPress website and other social media activities.

Additionally, support will be required to help co-ordinate and organise our conservation and creative workshops and our retail products.

A knowledge of WordPress and Xero™ is extremely preferable.
