Deputy Librarian

Magdalen College is seeking to appoint a Deputy Librarian for 19.5 hours per week. This is a fixed term post for 12 months. The Deputy Librarian will join the team responsible for the running of the college’s libraries, comprising the College Librarian, Deputy Librarian, Senior Assistant Librarian and Library Assistant. The library is at the heart of the college’s academic life and the remit of the library team is to provide a high-quality library service to the students, academics and staff of the college community as well as to make our research and special collections available to external researchers.

The Deputy Librarian will work alongside our current Deputy Librarian (part-time, 19.5 hours per week) to take responsibility, under the direction and supervision of the College Librarian, for the day-to-day running of the library and the supervision of the library team. We are recruiting an additional part-time Deputy Librarian to provide support during a period of unanticipated shortfall in staffing. The post will at times involve working outside normal hours (e.g. for weekend and evening talks or exhibitions).

The salary range for this post is Grade 6 of the College Unified Pay Scale (£33,482-£42,882 FTE) pro-rata depending on skills and experience, plus Oxford Location Allowance £1500 FTE per annum (pro-rata).

Full details of the post and the application process are set out in the further particulars, available at www.magd.ox.ac.uk/job-vacancies/. The deadline for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 16^th June 2025.

The College particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic candidates.
