Trinity College wishes to appoint a full-time, fixed-term (1 year from January 2027) Library Assistant to assist with the day-to-day running of the College’s libraries.   Working with both Library and Archive staff, the Library Assistants play an active part in running the Library’s enquiry service and delivering reader services to users, will assist with collection management tasks and supervise readers consulting special collections material.  Library Assistants are front-line members of staff and work directly with library users (students, Fellows and external readers) on a daily basis.

Library Assistants have a set of shared duties but also their own specialisms.  This vacancy has a strong focus on digitisation of materials and managing the Library’s social media.

This full-time, fixed-term appointment is an exciting opportunity to join the staff of the Library, in a post that will allow the successful candidate to grow and develop their skills in a stunning working environment and with world-class collections.
