University of Oxford - Rewley House Continuing Education Library

Location: Oxford
Salary: £23,706 to £25,138 per annum, pro rata : Grade 3
Hours: Part Time
Contract Type: Permanent
Placed On: 28th August 2024
Closes: 11th September 2024
Job Ref: 174664

About the role

We are looking for a customer-focused individual to run Library Services at the Department of Continuing Education on Saturday mornings.

The Continuing Education library serves a diverse range of mainly part time, mature students including some with little experience of higher education. Your main responsibilities will be issuing books and helping students make the most of the library, for example by assisting them with the online library catalogue, accessing e-resources and using library facilities.  You will also spend time putting the department’s reading lists onto our online reading list platform (ORLO) and checking the availability of books on the reading lists against library stock. 

This is a permanent, part-time, term-time only position, working 4 hours per week, 33 weeks per year (3 terms each of 11 weeks). You will be working Saturdays 09:30-13:30 during these terms.

This role requires lifting and carrying boxes of library materials, pushing trolleys, climbing ladders and kick-stools in order to access some of the library’s bookshelves and to re-shelve materials.

About You

You will have excellent communication skills and will have experience of providing exceptional customer service.  In addition, you will have good attention to detail and IT skills.  You will be the only member of staff working in the Library and so it is essential that you are comfortable working on your own.  Full training will be given. Experience of working in a Library and automated library management systems would be desirable.

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
  • Cycle loan scheme
  • Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

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.
