Evening & Weekend Library Assistant - 2 posts
Applications for this vacancy closed on 17 July 2024 at 12:00PM
**About the role**
We are recruiting for two part-time Evening & Weekend Library Assistants to
join our library team. The Bodleian Art, Archaeology & Ancient World Library
is one of the University of Oxford’s principal research libraries, with
collections focused on these named subject areas (inclusive of Classics,
Egyptology & Ancient Near Eastern Studies, and Architecture). Along with the
Taylor Institution and Nizami Ganjavi Libraries, the Art Library is part of
Section 3 of the Bodleian Libraries’ Humanities Libraries, and the three
libraries work together as a group to provide services. You may be asked to
provide cover at one of the other two libraries within the section from time
to time, or other Bodleian Humanities Libraries in exceptional circumstances.
As an Evening & Weekend Library Assistant, you will be part of our Reader
Services team. Your duties will include staffing the Issue Desk and Lodge,
assisting readers, and working with both the University’s online library
catalogue (SOLO) and the automated library management system (Alma). You will
also fetch and re-shelve books, scan extracts of texts for our Scan & Deliver
service, and assist with projects such as the transfer of books to the offsite
storage facility.
The posts are both part-time, permanent positions, working one of two
patterns:
• **Pattern 1** : Tuesdays (17:00-21:15) & Sundays (10:45-19:15) – 12.25 hours
per week (0.3356 FTE)
• **Pattern 2:** Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays (17:00-21:15) – 12.75 hours
per week (0.3493 FTE)
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 a strong customer focus, and the ability to communicate
effectively, confidently and courteously. You will be able to work effectively
as part of a team, and to prioritise work in a busy library environment. A
good level of IT literacy including the use of Microsoft Office applications
is important, as well as the ability to undertake routine library tasks with
care and accuracy. These roles involve lifting, carrying and shelving books,
using ladders and kick stools, and pushing trolleys.
**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 (pro-rata for part-time appointments).
• A comprehensive range of childcare services
• Family leave schemes
• Cycle loan scheme
• Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans
More information is available at **https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/staff-benefits**
**Diversity**
Our staff and students come from all over the world, and we proudly promote a
friendly and inclusive culture. 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.
**How to apply**
You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting evidence form using
the attached template as part of your online application. Your supporting
evidence form should list each of the essential and desirable selection
criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one.
**Please specify in your supporting evidence form whether you are interested
in one or both of these patterns.** Applications that do not include both a CV
and supporting evidence form will not be considered.
We aim to provide a supportive working environment and are happy to discuss
training and professional development opportunities. The Chair of this
recruitment panel will be Colin Walker, who can be contacted with enquiries
relating to the role (colin.walker@bodleian.ox.ac.uk). General queries about
the recruitment and application process should be directed to the Recruitment
team within our Human Resources department (recruitment@glam.ox.ac.uk).
Only applications received online by 12.00 midday (BST) on Wednesday 17 July
2024 can be considered. Interviews are expected to take place during the week
commencing Monday 5 August 2024.
