About the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Academic Services Librarian to join the Bodleian Law Library at the University of Oxford. Together with the Faculty of Law, the Bodleian Law Library is situated in the St Cross Building on Manor Road. It is one of the largest libraries in the University and one of the leading academic law libraries in the UK.
You will lead the Law Library’s Academic Services team consisting of 18 staff, 10 of whom work outside core opening hours. You will manage the day-to-day operations of the library. You will work closely with colleagues to deliver training to law students particularly at the start of each academic year.
This is a permanent, full-time position, working 37.5 hours per week. The regular working pattern is Monday to Friday between 8:45 and 17:15. Assistance with evening duties between 17:00 and 19:00 will occasionally be required. Some bank holiday working is essential. This is an onsite-only post.
About You
You will be a qualified and experienced law librarian with a good knowledge of legal resources. A proven track record of managing staff and leading a team is essential. You must also be able to work collaboratively with a wide range of colleagues. You should have excellent written and oral communication skills and have experience of delivering training. Good organisational and project management skills are required.
What We Offer
The University offers a generous pension scheme. Annual leave is 38 days per year including bank holidays and University fixed closure days; there is an option to buy additional leave. More information is available at https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/staff-benefits
You will benefit from the Bodleian Law Library’s institutional membership of the British & Irish Association of Law Librarians (BIALL) and EU Databases User Group (EUDUG).
Diversity
Our staff and students come from all over the world, and we proudly promote a friendly and inclusive culture. Diversity is positively encouraged, through diverse groups and champions, as well as a number of family-friendly policies, such as the right to apply for flexible working and support for staff returning from periods of extended absence, for example, shared parental leave.
We are committed to ensuring that our recruitment processes are inclusive and accessible. If you require the job description or any other materials in an alternative format, or if you would like to request any adjustments to support you through the application or interview process, please contact the recruitment team at recruitment@glam.ox.ac.uk.
How to apply
You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting statement as part of your online application. Your supporting statement should list each of the essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one. Both documents must be submitted to be considered.
We aim to provide a supportive working environment and are happy to discuss training and professional development opportunities. The Chair of this recruitment panel will be Helen Garner, Bodleian Law Librarian, who can be contacted with enquiries relating to the role ( helen.garner@bodleian.ox.ac.uk). General queries about the recruitment and application process should be directed to the Recruitment team ( recruitment@glam.ox.ac.uk).
