RTÉ is Ireland’s national public service media organisation. A leader in Irish media, RTÉ provides comprehensive, cost-effective, free-to-air multi-media services to the public in Ireland and interested audiences internationally.

RTÉ Archives house Ireland’s largest audiovisual collection and are responsible for collecting, preserving, and making accessible the creative and documentary output of the national broadcaster. The collections include hundreds of thousands of hours of moving image and sound recordings, photographs, manuscripts, and administrative documents. The RTÉ Archives support RTÉ’s multimedia services and serve as a resource for the wider creative media industry both in Ireland and abroad. They also collaborate with cultural partners and heritage institutions and support academic research and education. Access to RTÉ Archives, whether commercial or otherwise, fulfills a regulatory function.

We are currently working on several projects within the Archive Content Digitisation Programme. An opportunity for a versatile Assistant Archivist has arisen to work across different projects and daily archiving and preservation activities.

Reporting to the Programme Manager, RTÉ Archives, the successful candidate will work within one or multiple project teams during this employment. Their work will be supervised by the appropriate Project Lead or a Senior Archivist.

The key responsibilities for this role are:

- To deliver daily targets for all pre- and post-digitisation activities.
- To seek continuous improvements in process efficiency and suggest constructive solutions.
- To work in other areas of the RTÉ Archives as required.
- To participate in the overall development of the Archives when needed.

The main activities include, but are not limited to:

- Manual handling of physical carriers, including picking, cleaning, labelling, and packing before transport to digitisation service providers.
- Diligent data entry as required.
- Ingest activities and quality checks of digital content post-digitisation.
- Providing regular and proactive progress reports on all activities.
