This post will be based in the Informatics Department at St Catherine's,
Doncaster however the post holder will be required to travel throughout
the Trust including to Rotherham, Doncaster, Scunthorpe or Grimsby so
the ability to travel around the geographical work area is required.

undertake a project to:-
* establish the full requirements for implementing Trust-wide Library
and Knowledge Services that meet the standards set out in NLH National
Service Framework

emphasis on mental health and management topics.

information and library knowledge and expertise and will hold a first
degree or postgraduate qualification in Library and Information Studies

It is important that candidates have the confidence and ability to
effectively communicate complex information to users at all levels of
the hierarchy and with differing skill sets individually and in groups,
the ability to work on their own initiative, making decisions without
direct reference to a line manager and have the ability to plan a
project which will influence ways of working across all clinical and
management services in the Trust.

The Trust reference standard of computer competence is the European
Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) and the applicant should hold, or be
