A document controller is responsible for maintaining an organisation’s records. It is affiliated with a secretarial or office assistant role, and involves tasks such as scanning, filing and retrieving documents. This is a job that was traditionally performed on-site in an office setting, but changing work practices means that remote opportunities are increasingly being advertised.
A whole range of recruitment agencies will cover this type of staffing requirement, including multi-sector firms and administration experts. As the greatest demand for document controllers will come from industries where compliance and regulatory demands are high, such as construction or pharmaceuticals, industry specialists may also be useful for employers.
