About the role

The British Library organises a vibrant programme of temporary and permanent gallery exhibitions ranging from Beyond the Bassline: 500 years of Black British Music to Fairy Tales to Medieval Women. With our bold strategic vision and ambitious future plans there couldn’t be a better time to join our team.

You will be highly organised, able to work to deadline and possess excellent written and oral communications skills including the ability to work effectively and efficiently with a wide range of colleagues. You will need to be flexible on working hours and will need to on occasion be able to work outside of normal hours.
