The role

As a Library Supervisor based in Augustine’s Courtyard, you will work with colleagues to ensure an excellent service through the timely and accurate processing of inter-library loan requests, subscriptions, and payments.  You will be responsible for the line management and day-to-day supervision of a small team of Library Assistants.

You will supervise processes and transactions whilst continually reviewing them to identify areas for improvement. This role is key to successfully implementing change and you will support colleagues in this. You will also be ready to develop your own understanding of the challenges of delivering inter-library loan provision in a HE environment, and an awareness of new and emerging areas in this field.

You should apply if
