Salary: £25,156 to £26,643 per annum, full time (grading agreement pending); Location: Epsom; Ref: LLS ADM 7-162
The University College for the Creative Arts at Canterbury, Epsom, Farnham, Maidstone and Rochester was formed on 1 August 2005 through the uniting of two leading specialist art and design institutions: Kent Institute of Art and & Design and The Surrey Institute of Art & Design, University College. With around 6,500 students, the University College offers strengths in education and research in art, design, architecture, media and communication.
Based at the Epsom campus, we are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative Academic Liaison Librarian to work in our busy academic library providing support for students and staff within the disciplines of art and design, communication, graphic design, fashion, journalism and new media. This new post has arisen in response to the growing student and research community at Epsom.
You will participate in the provision of user enquiry services and the delivery of library and information skills programmes, be involved in the selection and organisation of stock and the use and promotion of electronic information resources and contribute to the day-to-day running of the campus library. In addition, you will have particular responsibility for academic liaison for the fashion related courses at the campus.
You will have previous professional experience, preferably within the higher education sector and will have a good understanding of how academic libraries contribute to learning, teaching and research in higher education. You will have a degree or post-graduate degree in library and information studies and either be Chartered or be working towards Chartership. Experience of cataloguing to current MARC21 standards is essential. A First Aid qualification (or the willingness to be trained as a First Aider) would be desirable.
Hours of work are 36.25 hours per week including one evening per week (5- 8pm).
