Librarian

The National Coal Mining Museum for England is a unique and inspiring place to work, set within historic surroundings and at the heart of the nation’s industrial heritage. We are dedicated to preserving and sharing the story of coal mining and its lasting impact on communities across England.

As a major visitor attraction, we offer engaging experiences that connect the past with the present, guided by values of collaboration, authenticity and sustainability.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a passionate, purpose-driven team and play a key role in protecting and sharing an important part of England’s history.

Our Library collection is of national importance, housing a wealth of information on the history of coal mining in England. We are looking for a methodical, organised and dynamic individual to join our Collections Team. A forward-thinking individual who will be responsible for the development of the collection, facilitating access for researchers, the research and answering of enquiries and looking at ways to increase engagement through digitisation projects.
