Libraries have never been needed more by their communities. Last year we had over 250 million visits - more than all other parts of the culture sector out together. We are innovating what we offer to the public, with new projects and services and provide the essential digital gateway for many people. Libraries are reopening now, but while doors closed throgh lockdown, public library services kept going, expanding their digital and online services as well as providing valuable community support.

However, the environment for libraries is challenging as their traditional source of income - direct local authority funding - has reduced over past years, and many libraries would like to develop a mixed model of funding to give them the stability to develop and innovate their services over the coming years. The COVID19 crisis has only accelerated this change, not only in highlighting the role and impact of libraries as critical social infrastructure, but also in creating huge challenges in the future of the local authority funding that libraries depend on.

Libraries Connected is the membership organisation for public libraries, and we are delivering a programme of skills development across the library sector. The aim of the programme is to give libraries the skills they tell us they need to create long term sustainable funding plans that brings together income from all sources, and crucially to work together to put these plans into practice. 

This role is to manage the development and delivery of this programme, as well as supporting the commercial offers that Libraries Connected have for public libraries. It runs until March 31st 2022.

• Please apply online by midnight on the 20th September 
• Interviews will be held in week commencing 28th September or 5th October. 

Interiews and induction will be held remotely - we are a small team working nationally so we have put in place proceses and tools to work flexibly and remotely and our office remains closed until we can safely reopen.
