Role Description
We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic library professional to provide management and co-ordination of the team responsible for Library Services' collections and their discovery.
About the Role
This is a key role within Library Services' Management Team, requiring wide professional knowledge, the capability to drive the implementation of the Library strategic plan, and the ability to manage and motivate staff in key functions.
The Content and Discovery Team provides support for the acquisition, licensing, description and discovery of both print and online resources, and provides our document delivery service for items not held in library collections. You will have responsibility for staff located at both our Cranfield and Shrivenham campuses.
About You
You should hold a postgraduate qualification in Library/Information Science (or similar) and have substantive experience in an appropriate library environment preferably within the higher education sector, at least some of which should have been in a managerial position. You will possess an excellent mix of communication, interpersonal and lateral thinking skills combined with detailed knowledge of library content management practices which will help you plan and shape services for the future.
You will be expected to engage with, and influence, staff across the University (and beyond) to achieve collective goals, serving as a role model to Library Services staff with your flexible, enthusiastic, and positive attitude.
