Assistant Collections Librarian

Do you have attention to detail and experience working in libraries? Are you dynamic and motivated? Do and have a 'can do' attitude? Do you want to work and live in the sunny Bay of Plenty?

The Opportunity

We are excited to have a new role focusing on our library's collections and the development of these collections. This is a Monday to Friday role working 40hrs per week based in Te Puke Library and Service Centre.

This new role is physically demanding, e.g. handling a large number of books and involves travelling between our libraries. You would be working at a different location at least 6 days a fortnight at our Waihi Beach, Katikati, and Omokoroa libraries.

Working alongside our Cataloguing and Collections Librarian and the Library Team Leaders, the successful applicant will have a proven strong library background in similar roles, or you could be a 'newbie' looking to spread your wings into the collection management field. You will have a passion for library work, high accuracy and attention to detail and a drive for excellent customer interactions.
