The pilot is proving to be a success and the University has decided to provide a 24/7 service at the Albert Sloman Library on a permanent basis during term time from October 2019.This contract is for the provision of 'out of hours' library service that is comparable to the services provided during our core hours, this contract is not a standard security contract but rather a contract for the provision of key library services.
Contracted staff will be based at the Library Helpdesk and will be expected to support all library users, answering basic customer queries and dealing with various Library and IT-related administrative tasks, both at the Helpdesk itself and as part of 'roving' support throughout the building.
