Trainee Archaeologists: interest in archaeology and experience of working outdoors desirable.

Archaeologists & Self-employed Archaeologists: minimum 6 months commercial experience, PCIfA or equivalent.

 

Trainee Archaeologists will be automatically enrolled on our CIfA Approved Training programme, details of which are available on request. We will acknowledge any previous training recorded by a recognised employer or university department so long as it is recorded on a BAJR Skills Passport.

 

Self-employed archaeologist must be able to get to site by their own means and should have their own PPE (meeting CAT’s H&S requirements), and basic tools and equipment.

 

An increase in our fieldwork programme means we have an immediate requirement for a range of archaeologists to work on a variety of projects. These are predominantly in Kent, although some away work is also likely.

 

Canterbury Archaeological Trust employs a large full-time team of archaeologists and specialist staff, mostly based out of our Canterbury head office. It is one of the UK’s longest established commercial contracting organisations having been founded in 1975.
