The National Library of Scotland is one of Europe's leading research

boasts world-class collections, services and expertise.

of this team, we have a vacancy for a Collections Care Manager
within the Collections and Interpretation Department of the Library.

The Collections Care Manager is vital to the achievement of the

        Management Team you will contribute to and support the
        development and implementation of departmental strategy and
        policy;

    *   You will provide advice and support to the Head of
        Collections and Interpretation and other section heads for
        all aspects of the management of the conservation and
        preservation of the collections, together with planning,
        support and performance monitoring;

    *   You will oversee the planning and operational delivery of
        all functions relating to collections care, and;

    *   Actively contribute to Departmental and Library wide
        collaboration and co-ordination of cross functional
        policies, strategies and activities.

Applicants should have a recognised qualification to degree level,
and / or have substantial experience and expertise in the field of
conservation. You should also have experience of leading, motivating
and managing a team of professionals, together with demonstrable
planning and project management skills, and experience of
implementing and managing change.
