Library Metadata & Discovery Coordinator

About us:

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us. 

Libraries & Collections comprises four departments: Education & Learning, Research & Impact, Service Design & Delivery, along with Business Operations. We are part of the Students & Education Directorate, which manages the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond.

This role is based in the Service Design & Delivery department, which consists of the Systems, Space & Discovery and Frontline Services teams. The Department provides welcoming library environments (both digital and physical), enabling users to get the most out of our spaces, services, and collections, as well as facilitating continual service improvement and development of new services across Libraries and Collections.

The Systems, Space & Discovery Team, in which this role sits, supports and develops the systems and spaces across Libraries & Collections, encourages good practice in metadata management, and facilitates continual service improvement.

We pride ourselves on being inclusive and welcoming. We embrace diversity and want everyone to feel that they belong and are connected to others in our community. 

We are committed to working with our staff and unions on these and other issues, to continue to support our people and to develop a diverse and inclusive culture at King's.
