[LIBJOBS] UK - Stornoway - Senior Library Assistant

Lews Castle College, part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, is seeking a temporary Senior Library Assistant.

 

Lews Castle College is situated in Stornoway in the Western Isles (Scottish islands recently achieved top scores for overall satisfaction rates in the UK's Office of National Statistics' national well-being measures). The College's location places it at the heart of Hebridean communities, within a stunning natural environment.

 

The Senior Library Assistant will be part of a small team which aims to support the college community through the provision of an efficient and effective library, learning centre and information service to students and staff.

A qualification accredited by CILIP is essential, as is one year's post-qualification experience, together with excellent IT and communication skills.  

This post affords the chance to support a wide range of subject specialisms including engineering (with specialisms in renewable technologies), computing, traditional music, Gaelic, fine art, health studies, maritime studies, rural development, food management and hospitality and many more. The small nature of the Library team means that the opportunity to carry out a full range of professional duties is ensured. The post is fixed term (ending 30th August 2013).

Salary: between £16,873 and £18,126 depending on qualifications and experience, plus £1,878 Islands Allowance.
