We are looking for an enthusiastic and qualified book conservator to join the British Library Conservation Team. This is an exciting opportunity to work on our unique and diverse collection and participate in all the activities to support the library services.

Other essential requirements are outlined in the job description.
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.
