About us
We are a world-class visitor attraction and leading science research centre. We use the Museum's unique collections and our unrivalled expertise to tackle the biggest challenges facing the world today. We care for more than 80 million objects spanning billions of years and welcome more than five million visitors annually and 16 million visits to our website.
Today the Museum is more relevant and influential than ever. By attracting people from a range of backgrounds to work for us, we can continue to look at the world with fresh eyes and find new ways of doing things.
We employ 1100 staff in a variety of roles, all united by our vision of a future where people and planet thrive. We need everyone to have the passion and drive to help us with our mission to create advocates for our planet and inspire millions to care about the natural world.
This role is specifically working as part of the Distributed System of Scientific Collections UK programme.
UK natural science collections hold more than 140 million items. These are an unrivalled source of data about how the Earth and its natural systems formed over 4.56 billion years, with the potential to support research that addresses some of the critical issues facing the world, including biodiversity and climate change. They contain evidence of the changes in the natural world including the impact of human life on our planet over the past few thousand years. The scientific, commercial, and societal benefits of these collections are currently constrained by the limits of physical access, and by highly fragmented digitisation efforts with less than 10% digitally available.
DiSSCo UK is a consortium of UK natural science collections, led by the Natural History Museum in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), who are developing a national infrastructure to support the digitisation and use of the UK’s natural science collections to support this critical research.
This will take the form of a 10-year programme focused on digitisation of critical mass of collections as FAIR data, made available through a well-supported backbone of technology infrastructure, with continued development and application of innovative approaches such as greater use of Artificial Intelligence and robotics. Investment of the order of £155m over ten years from 2026-27 is expected to unlock at least a four-fold economic return on investment, as well as efficiency savings for UK and global researchers, and the potential for research innovation and studies that have not previously been possible – underpinning a future in which both people and planet thrive.
Diversity and inclusion matter to us.
Our vision is of a future where both people and the planet thrive. Diversity is one of our core values and we strive to build a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. All new staff who join us learn about the importance of diversity and inclusion to the Museum and how to contribute to creating an inclusive environment.
We know we have more to do, but we are committed to ensuring that everyone who works at the Museum feels they can thrive and feel valued and respected.
About the role
DiSSCo UK is seeking an experienced and inspirational Digitisation Team Unit Lead to oversee digitisation operations, deliver strategic objectives, and support the development of a high-performing team contributing to the UK's natural science collections infrastructure.
The Unit Lead will provide sectional technical and people leadership for digitisation and collection preparation activities, ensuring projects are delivered efficiently, safely, and to a high standard. You will work across institutional teams and external partners to drive innovation, improve workflows, and deliver impactful outcomes that support research, conservation, and public engagement.
This role is based within the Museum’s Digital, Data and Informatics (DDI) Department and reports to the DiSSCo UK Operations Team Lead.
This is a fixed term role until 31 March 2028.
About you
You will be a confident communicator, able to foster strong working relationships both within the DiSSCo UK programme and wider NHM Collection teams. You will thrive in team environments, supporting and driving your teams to success, with excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
The role will combine technical digitisation expertise and people management. While beneficial, it is not essential that the postholder has previous direct management experience. We welcome applicants who may not have had formal line management experience previously, but are willing to learn and embrace building, developing and motivating a team.
This post will lead the Botanical section of Digitisers and Collection Assistants. The postholder will need substantial experience working with botanical specimens, natural science collections, with applied botanical expertise and the ability to make informed operational decisions on specimen handling and workflow requirements.

Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own.
Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.
We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.
