Canterbury Cathedral is recruiting a Librarian: for details and to apply, please see https://www.canterbury-cathedral.org/get-involved/employment/vacancies/

Canterbury Cathedral’s Archives and Library holds an impressive collection of archives, manuscripts and printed books, with the earliest items dating from the late 8th century.

The Library contains about 50,000 books and pamphlets, with 30,000 books and pamphlets printed before 1900. The printed collections are particularly rich in books on church history, theology, national and local history, travel, natural science, medicine and the anti-slavery movement.

We are seeking an experienced Librarian to join the Cathedral’s Archives and Library department team.

Applicants will be a holder of a professional qualification in librarianship or equivalent experience, have experience of working with rare book collections, have a strong administrative background and be able to work flexible hours when necessary.
