The Library is seeking to appoint a well-motivated team player to join our Collections team. The successful candidate will help support key Team activities. These include the Library Store service, transferring stock between locations, both physically and on the Library Management System, and evaluating donations given to the Library against the Collections Policy. The Library is also an active member of national collection management projects and the post holder will have the opportunity to contribute to these initiatives.  

All members of the Team are expected to take a flexible approach to their work, and the role holder, although working primarily within the Collections Team, may be asked to undertake a range of duties across the Unit as and when the need arises. Other aspects of Collections work currently include processing Inter-Library Loan requests and populating the Short Loan Collection. At times tasks can be physically demanding.  

You will have a good general education to Scottish Higher Level or equivalent. You will be able to demonstrate experience of team working, but also the ability to work under a minimal level of supervision. You will have experience of delivering targets accurately and in a timely manner.  

You will also be able to communicate effectively with other library staff and users, have a proficient level of IT skills and have a full clean UK driving license.  

This is a part-time post working 21.25 hours per week.  

The University of St Andrews is committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all, which is further demonstrated through its working on the Gender and Race Equality Charters and being awarded the Athena SWAN award for women in science, HR Excellence in Research Award and the LGBT Charter;  http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/hr/edi/diversityawards/.
