Owing to the internal progression of our current colleague, we are looking for an enthusiastic LRC Assistant to join the New City College library team based at our Ilford campus with potential occasional working at our other nearby sites of Redbridge and Epping.
We serve a culturally and socially diverse community and offer a wide variety of courses from Entry to postgraduate levels. Our Ilford campus specialises in ESOL courses, teaching English to speakers of other languages. The ability to manage your own workload with minimal supervision is vital, as you will be the sole Library staff member for the majority of the time.
This role will suit you if you have good organisational and communication skills and enjoy working with a wide variety of people in a customer-focused environment. Library experience, whilst not essential, is desirable. Good IT skills are essential as you will be supporting students’ computer use in addition to meeting their reading and information needs. You need to be educated to A-level equivalent standard and be passionate about delivering a high-quality service and have the flexibility, creativity and imagination to engage every learner and encourage them to succeed.
Duties include: circulating stock; assisting students in their use of the learning centre including locating print and providing basic support in the use of IT; staffing the enquiry desk; assisting the Campus Library Manager in the management and processing of resources.
