Bletchley Park is a vibrant heritage attraction open daily, revealing the secrets of British World War Two codebreaking operations. The Project Beacon Conservation Officer will join the Collections team to support the delivery of Project Beacon, a major capital project including two new permanent exhibitions and the redevelopment of Block B into accessible galleries. Reporting to the Curator and working closely with the Site Works team and external contractors, the officer will ensure conservation is embedded throughout the project.
