Closing date 14th February, 2003
Royal West Sussex NHS Trust
PRIMARY CARE LIBRARIAN
Based Chichester & Goring + significant day to day travel
£22,528 - £24,172 per annum
Full time post with flexible hours
Effective, modern information resources are key to good clinical governance
and enhanced knowledge sharing - and even more vital in remote or rural
settings. That's why our GPs and primary care staff are counting on your
enthusiastic expertise to develop and effective library service for them,
supporting PCTs and community teams in western West Sussex.
This exciting challenge is ideal for someone with 3-5 years health
librarianship under their belt who will be happy to set an agenda to tackle
a developing range of priorities. To begin with the focus is on:
training people to use information tools and resources;
identifying needs and working with NHS libraries to help them improve
provision for primary care users
providing specialist support for clinical governance
Professional and/or graduate qualifications in librarianship or information
science are essential but as this job is all about giving people information
power we are also looking for excellent teaching skills. Our ideal
candidate will be up to date on the health sector, IT tools and internet
resources, with a strong understanding of clinical governance and
evidence-based healthcare support.
Almost literally a roving brief, the job will involve a good deal of driving
(though the scenery should more than compensate) so you must be a car owner
with a full, current licence. If this independent, consultancy-style role
is one you would relish, find out more by contacting Mike Roddham, Head of
Library Services, West Sussex Health Libraries on 01243 831507 or by email
