We are seeking to appoint a Lead Learning Producer to develop and implement a new learning programme in Leeds and the surrounding areas. Highly organised, and with prior experience of delivering learning programmes to support learners of all ages and abilities, you will plan and deliver a range of new events, workshops and projects inspired by the British Library and its collections.

With up-to-date knowledge of cultural sector learning, as well as a passion for widening access and participation, you'll plan and organise the delivery of this new programme, building relationships with a range of partners, and carrying out consultation and evaluation. The post-holder will have a flair for creative programming, and will commission authors, storytellers, artists and performers to create compelling learning experiences for new audiences.

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 20.9%. 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.
