Apprenticeships at The British Library

We work hard to share our vast collection of books, newspapers, music, sound recordings, web pages and digital content with everyone, both in the UK and around the globe. We also strive to employ passionate, diverse and forward-thinking people who we can offer a challenging and stimulating work environment, a competitive salary and benefits and a huge and varied range of jobs to choose from. 

As an apprentice, you’ll get the chance to help us grow. You’ll help make our workforce more diverse and be encouraged to breathe new life and ideas into our work and engage with new audiences.

Put simply, a great start. Whether you’re just leaving school or changing career, you’ll be paid for doing a job for 30 hours per week and get time off to complete your studies. Your manager can help you to decide what working patterns are best for you. You’ll also have the chance to learn from our experienced staff and work with other apprentices in different areas.
