Position at British Library

Head of Conservation
British Library
St. Pancras, London

Salary UKP44,956-53,367 p.a.

The recently opened Conservation Centre is a major milestone in the
development of the discipline at the British Library. It comprises
state-of-the-art conservation studios and audio preservation
facilities with an ambitious public access and training programme,
all housed together in a beautiful, purpose-built building next to
the new Eurostar station at St. Pancras in London.

The successful candidate will be joining the BL at a very exciting
time when the public programmes and the training (such as a
Foundation Degree with the University of the Arts) are newly
underway. You will manage the Conservation studios, working closely
with the collections to provide a world-class conservation service.
Your leadership and conservation experience will be used to the full
to help us build on recent success and develop further.

This is an exciting opportunity for a cultural heritage professional
to work for one of the largest research libraries in the world. We
strongly encourage engagement with the conservation profession and
actively support continuous professional development. We also
support PACR accreditation and welcome applications from accredited
professionals.

Closing date: 17 December 2008.
