About the role

We are seeking a Resources Librarian to join our friendly library team.

You will be responsible for the library management system and the support, administration and development of a broad range of digital services, platforms, software and tools, including the provision of library web pages.

You will work closely and collaboratively with other Library staff, academic and other professional departments, to ensure that the library’s digital services meet the needs of students and staff across the University. This will involve regular contact and close liaison with our Digital Services department (IT).  

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic in contributing to our students’ educational experience and supporting our academic staff.  You will need to be accurate, organised and able to prioritise workloads within a busy environment. Ideally you will also have an understanding of the HE sector and have previous experience within a similar environment.  

Applicants need to have a degree level qualification and must hold a recognised qualification in librarianship/information science. We welcome applications from recently qualified Library or Information Science graduates or those who will be completing their studies in the next three months.

Our benefits

In meeting your performance expectations, each year you’ll have a salary increase in line with the grade of your role.  As well as this there is an annual cost of living increase.  AUB provides generous holiday entitlement, and you will be enrolled in the Local Government Pension Scheme (professional services staff) or the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (academic staff) from day one of employment.  Along with subsidised bus travel, cycle to work and annual savings schemes, our broad range of benefits can be explored on the AUB careers website https://aub.ac.uk/working-at-aub.

AUB has an agile working policy, and flexible working can be considered.
