• Support the development of knowledge and information management strategies.
• Maintain and update systems used for storing, organising, and sharing information.
• Coordinate digitisation, archiving, and classification of documents and records.
• Ensure compliance with data retention policies and information governance standards.
• Assist with knowledge sharing initiatives across teams and stakeholders.
• Provide support for the transfer of information at project milestones or closure points.
• Contribute to reporting, audits, and continuous improvement of information processes.

While we are ideally seeking permanent staff, we may be able to consider other employment types.
