About the role

Are you ready to turn the page on your next
big career move? The British Library is looking for a seasoned
Employee Relations Manager to lead the way in creating a fair,
inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace. You'll work closely
with trade unions, help shape policies, reward, and drive
innovative projects that help our people thrive.



If you've got a passion for employee
relations, know your way around employment law, pay and reward
methodologies and labour relations, this is the role for you.

About us

We are the national library of the UK and we are here for
everyone. Our shelves hold over 170 million items - a living
collection that gets bigger every day. Although our roots extend
back centuries, we aim to collect everything published in the UK
today, tomorrow and far into the future. Our trusted experts care
for this collection and open it up for everyone to spark new
discoveries, ideas and to help people do incredible
things.

We have millions of books, and much more besides. Our London and
Yorkshire sites hold collections ranging from newspapers and maps
to sound recordings, patents, academic journals, as well as a
copy of every UK domain website and blog. Our public spaces
provide a place to research, to meet friends, to start up a new
business or simply to get inspired by visiting our galleries and
events. We work with partners and libraries across the UK and the
world to make sure that as many people as possible have the
chance to use and explore our collections, events, and expertise.
And we're always open online, along with more and more of our
digitised collection.

What we can offer you

A competitive salary. A fantastic pension scheme with minimum employer contributions of 28.97% (this may be higher dependent on grade). Flexible working hours, with the ability to take up to 5 days flexi leave in a 3-month period. 25 days holiday. Full details of employee benefits can be found on our Careers: Benefits page.


Closing date: 10th August
2025

Interview date: 22nd August

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, Mixed

diverse as the public that we serve. Creating an inclusive
workplace is the core of our business and a way to engage the
diversity of thought that is essential to achieve our aims.
