The postholder will be involved in the day-to-day running of the Library, undertaking a range of administrative activities to support the access and use of library resources by students, staff and other visitors.

You will be trained to undertake a range of duties in key areas of Library operations, such as purchasing books, journals and e-resources, income reconciliation, stock management, scanning services, inter-library loans and collating and recording statistics.

Educated to ‘A’ level standard (or equivalent), you will have previous experience of working in an administrative role.
