Assistant Librarian (Informatics)
AfC Grade 5 £18,039-£24,803
37.5 hours Full-Time
1 Year Fixed Term Contract to Cover Maternity Leave (Starting 1st October 2007)
The Library and Knowledge Service is dedicated to providing a high-quality library service, to support the clinical, educational and research needs of its organisation. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and self-motivated assistant librarian to join our friendly team.
The role will primarily involve supporting the Informatics Team by; assisting with the planning and delivery of the information skills training programme; supporting the Clinical Librarians in delivering an extensive outreach service to users; and assisting with the maintenance of the Library Intranet site. Proven literature searching skills and a sound knowledge of electronic systems and databases is therefore essential, as is a thorough working knowledge of current library practice.
You will have or be working towards an appropriate qualification in librarianship or information science at degree or postgraduate level. 1-2 years experience of working in a library is essential. Although we are ideally looking for someone with a background in health librarianship, a willingness and the enthusiasm to learn is more important. Effective communication, planning and organising skills plus the ability to work under pressure are also requirements of this position.
This post will provide a valuable insight into the work of the Clinical Librarian, and would be ideal for either a newly qualified librarian or someone wanting to change direction.
For an informal discussion please contact Caroline White, Library Informatics Manager 01332 789235.
