Vacancy for Workflow Support Officer at the British Library

21 August 2022

St Pancras

£26,000 per annum

Fixed Term

This job will support the Unlocking Our Sound Heritage project and its successor, the Audio Collections Project. These exciting projects will digitally preserve almost half a million rare and at risk sound recordings, establish a network of audio preservation centres across the UK and encourage more people to enjoy and learn from audio archives. These projects are part of the British Library’s Save Our Sounds programme.

The Workflow Support Officer will assist with the efficient digital preservation of audio archives at the British Library.

The job involves maintaining, updating and improving a database used to track work done by each of the project teams, compiling statistics, managing interim data storage and ingesting content into the British Library’s long term digital repository. It also involves auditing collections selected for preservation using existing metadata sets.

The successful candidate will have a high degree of computer literacy and systematic approach to work. Previous professional experience of working with databases is required, as is experience of working with contemporary metadata standards and data archiving technologies. A degree in a relevant subject area, or equivalent professional experience, is also essential. Knowledge and experience of digital audiovisual media and digitisation would be an advantage.

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.
