A bit about the Library Services Team
The Library Services team provides high-quality learning spaces and excellent frontline support to students, aiming to create a sense of belonging at the University. Library Services are responsible for the delivery of services including access management, lending, and returning of books and laptops, enquiry services, and for the management and development of libraries and learning spaces across the campus.
We make every contact count: finding the right answers, connecting students to different services, and looking for the best solutions to problems. Our team builds rapport with our service users, cultivating an inclusive Library community where students can be themselves and feel supported. We aim to ensure that all students have a positive, vibrant, and engaging experience whenever they use our service.
So, what will the role involve?
We are seeking an exceptional candidate with the skills and personal attributes to deliver excellent customer services as part of the Library Services Team. As an Information Support Assistant, your responsibilities will include:
* Responding to enquiries including making space bookings, access to print and electronic resources, and the loan and return of library laptops, including directing users to other services and resources provided by the University.
* Promoting library services and programmes to service users and assisting with outreach and engagement activities.
* Proactively engaging with users to build a library community where students can be themselves and feel supported.
* Monitoring the use of library spaces and services and dealing with any challenging behaviour in accordance with library policies and procedures.
You will be expected to:
* Support students on their learning journey and make a difference to their life here at the University of Salford.
* Build relationships with students, anticipating and meeting their needs even where they cannot clearly articulate what these are.
* Be confident in dealing with challenging behaviour including but not limited to, inappropriate language, and non-compliance with library policies and procedures.
* Learn new systems and skills as our service is constantly evolving and changing.
