Summary of the role

We have a full-time, permanent post available immediately.

Familiarity with the HE information environment and with bibliographic data, acquired through work or study, will be an advantage.

The exact working pattern will be by agreement between you and your line manager, but currently we require a pattern of Tuesday - Friday standard hours and 10 - 6 on a Saturday.

It could also involve working occasional Bank Holidays and University Closure Days.

Whilst there is an expectation for you to work on campus, this post may include some home working. If you are interested in submitting an application but are concerned about working arrangements, we would welcome you getting in touch.
