Title

British Archaeological Jobs Resource

Description

The British Archaeological Jobs Resource (BAJR) began in 1999 as independent organisation run by an archaeologist for archaeologists and heritage workers and now ranks alongside the national institutions of archaeology in the United Kingdom, such as the IFA, CBA, Rescue (British Archaeological Trust). There is no committee, no formal membership and no subscription; BAJR is run with major decisions, guidelines and documents put out to public vote and/or consultation from interested groups, such as the CBA, SCAUM, ALGAO or the IFA.

BAJR provides a free exchange of practical information and services about the historic environment and employment and training within that sector. In conjunction with the Digger, it also acts as an independent platform for the workers in archaeology and heritage related occupations, providing advice and protection on an informal basis, empowering the workers with facts and data concerning all aspects from Health and Safety to Employee Rights.

As our heritage belongs morally and ethically to us all, BAJR supports all those who adhere to the highest professional and ethical standards. To this end, BAJR provides information to groups as diverse as Local History Societies, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Metal Detecting Groups, Developers, as well as Archaeological Contractors. The IFA Code of conduct is recognised as the minimum standard that should be adhered to and as such, BAJR has adopted the IFA Code of conduct as the condition for Archaeological Contractors to both be included in the database of contractors and to advertise on the employment pages. It also contains a full database of every heritage course in the United Kingdom..

BAJR aims to provide practical information concerning all aspects of archaeology and the heritage disciplines, promoting the professional standards already available and creating an environment where care and respect of the archaeological resource is understood to be the responsibility of everyone.

BAJR is primarily concerned with providing up to date information and resources for public and professional use. It also involves facilitating the way in which archaeology and other related activities are conducted and creates standards, in conjunction with other national organisations.

There are also free guides to archaeology skils, which can be downloaded - these range from photography to survey and osteology to aerial photography.
