Description

Full time, Fixed Term until


The Business & IP Centre (BIPC) supports start-up businesses and entrepreneurs across the UK to develop the insight, skills and confidence they need to start and grow successful businesses.

For the past 10 years the British Library has established a National Network of 21 partner libraries offering BIPC services across the UK.


The role will sit in the Business & IP Centre Reference team and will work with the core Business & IP Centre National Network team to support the training and development of frontline staff in partner libraries on the use of specialist business collections, and how to deliver a business information service to entrepreneurs, self-employed people or small-business owners from all walks of life.


Key areas of responsibility include:


To further develop the learning and development framework and other resources, and to deliver training modules to assist partner libraries in delivery of their comprehensive business information and IP service.

To build upon existing channels and activities for the exchange of knowledge and best practice between partner library members.


To continually review skills development needs of all National Network members based on a developing understanding of best practice and changing user needs.


To contribute the knowledge and experiences gained from these areas of responsibility to inform the future strategic development of the BIPC National Network.


The role isn't directly supporting commercial business, but is helping us to achieve our strategic aims, and will have a positive impact in achieving KPIs and milestones for the BIPC National Network.


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.

In return we offer a competitive salary and a number of excellent benefits. Our pension scheme is one of the most valuable benefits we offer, as our staff can become members of the Alpha Pension Scheme where the Library contributes a minimum of 26.6% (this may be higher dependant on grade.

Another significant benefit the Library provides is the provision of a flexible working hours scheme which could allow you to work your hours flexibly over the week and to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3 month period.

This is on top of 25 days holiday from entry and public and privilege holidays.
