Special Collections Assistant

INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY

This part-time post is available from 01/09/2026 on a permanent basis.

Salary will be £28,209 per annum pro rata on Grade C subject to knowledge, skills and experience.

Based in the University Library's Heritage Collections, the Special Collections team manages over 500 archive collections and c.50,000 rare books which are used by researchers from all over the world, alongside members of the public, as well as in regular teaching and research on campus. The service holds major international collections relating to the Middle East & North African region alongside substantial South-West literature and drama collections.

The Special Collections Assistant is a vital part of this team, supporting the administration of the service and providing advice and assistance to internal and external users.
