Founded in 1882, The Royal College of Music (RCM) is a world leading music conservatoire with a prestigious history and contemporary outlook. Our excellence was recognised by the 2023 QS World University Rankings, in which we were ranked as the global top institution for performing arts by Subject.

The post holder is expected to deliver a high-quality customer service as part of the wider library team.
The successful candidate will have a good knowledge of music (including repertoire and music history) and copyright. An understanding of the needs of the staff and students in a busy conservatoire is important, as is flexibility in organising varying strands of work, often under pressure.
