Bath Abbey is a vibrant and internationally significant parish church currently serving nearly 500,000 people annually. Footprint is a transformative programme of capital works, interpretation, collections care and sustainable energy, provoked by the urgent need to repair and renew its collapsing historic floor. The project will accomplish this by:
• Reducing Impact - stabilising the floor foundation, renewing its surface, and using the unique hot springs as a source of energy
• Enlarging Capacity - fulfilling the Abbey as a place of congregation, equal access and hospitality
• Retelling an Ancient Story - recording and interpreting the long history of the Abbey site and this iconic church for millions of visitors
• Becoming a People and Place Fully Alive - supporting everyone in recognising what is valuable - individually, communally, and globally
Bath Abbey is currently recruiting for an Interpretation Officer and a Cataloguing Archivist (both subject to HLF funding) to support the Footprint project. For more information and full job descriptions, please go to this link.

The archivist position pays £22,000 per year, and the interpretation position pays £30,000 per year.
