The Library is a key academic support department in the University, providing both students and staff with flexible and responsive services which underpin teaching, learning and research. This role in our Customer Services team will give you the opportunity to showcase your excellent communication skills through the development and provision of enquiry services, whether this be face to face, by telephone, email or live chat, as well as through the day to day oversight of the environment quality across all University Libraries and study spaces. A high level of time management and organisational skills will be required to manage the circulation of print materials and care for the library collection, alongside re-shelving and stock maintenance. IT skills and knowledge are also important, as you will be answering first line IT queries in relation to Library systems.

We also offer a wide range of staff benefits, including a generous annual leave allowance of 30 days per year pro rata (plus an additional 14 bank holiday and concessionary days), progressive pay rates, access to discounts at popular stores and more.
