A Trainee Records Officer helps to support the management of an information record system in an organisation or business. You might have to manage the administrative tasks associated with a records system such as access approvals or information requests.

You might be working with digital record systems or managing paper or photo record systems.
Trainee Records Officers need to be able to follow directions and work with formal procedures. You’ll need to handle multiple tasks at any one time and be capable of working with colleagues from all areas of your organisation. Trainee Records Officers should be organised and have good time management skills.
