Grade:

C

Salary:

£24,413 per annum

Join our small team working to create a new home for the British Library in the heart of Leeds. The Leeds Presence programme will transform the Library’s impact in the North, opening up our world-class resources to more people than ever before. Making an open, welcoming hub where people and ideas flow freely. A place for progress and creativity where anyone can connect with their heritage, with culture and with each other.

We’re looking for someone with practical experience of project delivery, who’s looking to expand their professional experience by supporting this capital project. You’ll have excellent organisation and communication skills, with the ability to work across a wide variety of stakeholders. In this wide-reaching role, you’ll use your outstanding analytical, planning, and organisational skills to provide high-level administrative support across the programme – tracking progress, maintaining documentation, managing risk reporting, and authoring reports to ensure effective governance. This role offers a unique opportunity to develop a wide range of skills while delivering transformational change for the Library and the city of Leeds.

As one of the world’s great libraries, our duty is to preserve the nation’s intellectual memory for the future and make it available to all for research, inspiration, and enjoyment. At present, we have well over 170 million items, in most known languages, with three million new items added every year. We have manuscripts, maps, newspapers, magazines, prints and drawings, music scores, and patents. We make our collections and programmes available to all. We operate the world’s largest document delivery service providing millions of items a year to customers all over the world. What matters to us is that we preserve the national memory and enable knowledge to be created both now and in the future by anyone, anywhere.

In return:

we offer a competitive salary and a number of excellent benefits. Our pension scheme is one of the most valuable benefits we offer, as our staff can become members of the Alpha Pension Scheme where the Library contributes a minimum of 26.6% (this may be higher dependent on grade). Another significant benefit the Library provides is the provision of a flexible working hours scheme which could allow you to work your hours flexibly over the week and to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3 month period. This is on top of 25 days holiday from entry and public and privilege holidays.

Closing date:

31 January 2025

Interview date:

14 February 2025

We are unable to provide sponsorship under the UK Skilled Worker visa for this role, as it does not meet the eligibility criteria required for this immigration route.
