Full job description

About the role

Join the Bodleian Law Library and help deliver an outstanding evening service for students, researchers and visitors. You will supervise a small evening team, provide welcoming front-line reader support, oversee the enquiry desk and library closing procedures, assist readers with library resources and IT, and help maintain a safe, efficient and customer-focused environment.

You will also contribute to staff training and ensure library procedures and service standards are consistently followed.

This is a permanent, part-time, term-time-only post, working 9 hours per week (during Michaelmas, Hilary, and Trinity Terms, Bank holidays). The working pattern is Monday to Wednesday, 19:00–22:00.

As this role requires you to work during your contracted working period, annual leave cannot be taken during this time, including on bank holidays. Instead, you will receive payment in lieu of any annual leave and bank holiday entitlement accrued during your employment.

This role requires lifting, moving and carrying books and journals.

About You

You will have excellent customer service and communication skills, strong IT confidence, and the ability to supervise colleagues while remaining calm under pressure.

You will be reliable, organised, able to work accurately with minimal supervision, and committed to delivering a high-quality library service.

Previous experience in reader services, library systems or staff training would be an advantage.

What We Offer

As an employer, we genuinely care about our employees’ wellbeing and this is reflected in the range of benefits that we offer including:

An excellent contributory pension scheme

38 days of annual leave

A comprehensive range of childcare services

Family leave schemes

Cycle loan scheme

Discounted bus travel and Season Ticket travel loans

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 [email protected].

How to apply

You will be required to upload your CV and a supporting evidence form using the attached template as part of your online application. Your supporting evidence form should list each of the essential and desirable selection criteria, as listed in the job description, and explain how you meet each one. CVs alone will not 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 Samantha Lim, Academic Services Librarian, who can be contacted with enquiries relating to the role ([email protected]). General queries about the recruitment and application process should be directed to the Recruitment team within our Human Resources department ([email protected]).

Only applications received online by 12.00 midday (BST) on Friday 31 July 2026 can be considered. Interviews are expected to take place in-person during week commencing 17 August 2026.
