Learning Resources Manager

The opportunity

We have an exciting opportunity for two Learning Resources Managers at UAL. One based at the London College of Communication and one managing our new Library hubs at High Holborn and Lime Grove.

As a member of the Library Services senior management team, you will contribute to the strategic and operational development of our services to provide high quality and student-focused library services which support the academic activities of the University and its Colleges.

You will work with the Associate Director for services and support to provide functional leadership for one of the governance groups within Library Services. This will either be chairing the Customer Services group or the Community Engagement group.

As manager of the library learning zones you will lead and support the Library Services teams at your designated site/s, promote and enable access to resources, collections and services, across UAL, leading a hybrid team to provide inspiring services and spaces.

As a member of the wider Library and Student Support services directorate you will attend operational meetings and build effective relationships with key stakeholders. You will chair an operational group within the LSS governance structure, leading on cross service co-ordination and development in that area. 

There is some opportunity for working from home in this role, dependent on operational needs.

The posts are anticipated to be available from May 2024. 

About you

We are looking for someone with a degree level qualification and a recognised library qualification or relevant experience in other education or information roles. 

You will demonstrate a commitment to developing and managing within an academic library context that take account of students from diverse backgrounds. You need to demonstrate a capacity for motivating and leading a team, and evidence skills for planning and managing resources effectively to deliver services.
