Job description

We are seeking a Principal Library Assistant to join a team responsible for acquisitions of the Bodleian Libraries’ materials, based within the Collections and Resource Description Department of the Bodleian Libraries.
You will deal with both print and electronic resources orders and incoming deliveries acquired by purchase and donation from all over the world for the Central Bodleian (Acquisitions Services), and for all other individual libraries with the Bodleian Libraries Groups.
You will have experience of working with structured and financial data and enjoy methodical precise work requiring high level of attention to detail. A flexible approach is necessary, as is the ability to work both independently and co-operatively with colleagues. Good written and spoken communication skills are essential as well as excellent numeracy skills for dealing with financial data.
This is a permanent, part-time position, working 15 hours per week. You will start in-post on 1 August 2023.
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.
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.
You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting statement as part of your online application. Your supporting statement should list each of the essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one.
Only applications received online by 12.00 midday (BST/GMT) on Friday 5 May 2023 can be considered. Interviews are expected to take place on Thursday 18 May 2023.
