Graduate Library Advisor (Fixed Term - 18 Months)

As a Graduate Library Advisor, you’ll work on a hands-on project to create simple, supportive online learning resources that help students feel more confident with their studies. Day to day, you’ll be working with Library staff and academic colleagues to understand the questions students often have, then turning that into clear digital content that explains how to find reliable information, use Library search tools, evaluate sources and think carefully about using AI in academic work. You’ll build and test these resources, making sure they’re easy to follow and genuinely useful for students.

Alongside this project, you’ll also spend time working in the Library and at student events, answering questions and seeing first-hand how students use Library services. This will help you shape the resources you create so they reflect real student needs. You’ll take part in team meetings, use University systems, and be supported to share ideas and work independently, gaining practical experience of how an academic library supports students every day.

(This is a 18 Month Full Time Fixed Term Role)

We’re looking for a graduate who is curious, organised and enjoys helping others. You don’t need to have worked in a library before, but you should be comfortable using digital tools, happy to learn new systems, and confident communicating ideas clearly in writing and in person. An interest in how students find and use information, and a willingness to ask questions and learn from feedback, will be important in this role. We’re also looking for someone who can manage their time well, take ownership of their work, and balance independent project tasks with working as part of a friendly, supportive team. Above all, we’re keen to hear from graduates who bring a positive attitude, a fresh perspective, and a genuine interest in improving the student experience.
