Oxford, United Kingdom Bodleian Libraries Full time
About the role
The Archives and Modern Manuscripts section is part of the department of Special Collections within the Bodleian Libraries at the University of Oxford. We are currently looking for an Archives Assistant to join the team.

The main purpose of this role is to provide support for the administration, arrangement and description of the Libraries’ Archives and Modern Manuscripts as part of a team of collections support staff. A considerable part of your work will take place in collection storage areas.

This is a permanent, full-time position, working 36.5 hours per week.

The role requires lifting and moving collection material and library records, by hand and using trolleys, kick stools and lifts and working with allergens, for example reporting outbreaks of mould spores. Driving on University business and some lone working may be required.

This position will be subject to a satisfactory basic DBS check and driving licence check.

About You
You will have a good general level of education and will be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in contributing to the work of the Bodleian Libraries as this relates to the management of its holdings of modern archives and manuscripts. The ability to work with care, accuracy and attention to detail is important, as is being able to organise work effectively, manage priorities and meet deadlines. You will possess good all-round IT skills, including experience of working with spreadsheets or databases and other Microsoft, or equivalent, applications. The ability to work independently and as part of a team is essential. You will be able to lift, carry and move collection material and library records.

What We Offer
As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:
• An excellent contributory pension scheme
• 38 days of annual leave
• A comprehensive range of childcare services
• Family leave schemes

Our staff and students come from all over the world, and we proudly promote a friendly and inclusive culture. Diversity is positively encouraged, through diverse groups and champions, as well as a number of family-friendly policies, such as the right to apply for flexible working and support for staff returning from periods of extended absence, for example, shared parental leave.

How to apply
You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting evidence form using the attached template as part of your online application. Your supporting evidence form should list each of the essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one. CVs and supporting evidence forms submitted on their own will not be considered.

We aim to provide a supportive working environment and are happy to discuss training and professional development opportunities.
