How much does a library / archives role earn in the UK?

Based on 22 adverts on UniJobs in the last 12 months, a typical library / archives role job paid £26,900 to £27,500 a year, with a typical mid-point of £27,200.

How these figures work. They come only from salaries stated in job adverts on UniJobs over the last 12 months, per year, in pounds. "Typical salary" is the middle of the advertised starting points to the middle of the advertised top points. "Middle half" is the range of mid-points that half of the adverts fell within. Pay grades are set by each university, so the same grade can pay differently from place to place, and figures update as new jobs are posted.
