Graduate Trainee Library Assistant

With strong team-working and interpersonal skills, and a capacity to carry out routine work quickly, methodically, and to a high standard in our busy, reader-focused library, you will join a small, friendly team.

You will assist in the day-to-day running of New College Library—whose collections include manuscripts and rare books of international significance—and you will gain experience in a wide range of library duties. You will also participate in visits and events run by the Bodleian Libraries as part of the Bodleian Libraries Graduate Trainee Scheme, which provides the necessary experience for application to a postgraduate course in librarianship/information management.

There is the prospect of this position leading thereafter to the part-time (1½ days per week), one-year fixed-term role of Special Collections Curatorial Assistant at New College Library, which may be suitable for a post-holder pursuing their postgraduate qualifications.

Applicants should have a good undergraduate degree, good IT skills, and demonstrable accuracy and attention to detail. You will work 35 hours per week, usually Monday to Friday, and your annual salary will be equivalent to University Grade 2.7: £22,630 (salary/grade under review); benefits include contributory pension scheme, Employee Assistance Scheme and free lunches.
