Loughborough University Library
Part Time, Open Ended
Loughborough University Library is seeking to appoint two Library Assistants to join the Content Provision Team. Reporting to the Content Provision Managers the post-holders will work to support the University Library acquisition and subscription services by assisting with the processing of our book and journal resources.
This is a very exciting time to join a highly regarded University and a Library service that receives excellent staff and student feedback. The Library has recently implemented a new reading list system that is proving popular with our students, and we are keen to continue to develop our services and resources for the benefit of our University community. It is expected that these roles will help contribute towards service development via a range of initiatives and projects.
Both Library Assistant roles are permanent part-time posts, successful applicants will be working 26 hours per week at our East Midlands Loughborough Campus. One of the roles will work primarily with journals and subscriptions and the other primarily with books but each role will provide support across the Team. Hours of work are generally expected to be between 8am-6pm and a minimum of three days, but the actual working pattern is open to flexibility. There is opportunity for some hybrid working but as the job requires handling of Library material successful applicants will need to work on campus on a regular basis.
For informal enquiries please contact the Content Provision and Access Lead – Jane Bramley: J.C.Bramley@lboro.ac.uk
