Full Job Description

We are looking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic Library Trainee to join a small friendly team, providing a proactive library & information service. Based primarily at the Trust headquarters (at White Rose Office Park, LS11) you will be providing a service to Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust and other contracted organisations, including primary care across the city and public health staff in Leeds City Council.

The varied post will focus on day-to-day service delivery: main duties will involve issue desk work including enquiries, maintaining the document supply service, cataloguing and processing new resources and promoting the library in a variety of ways. We use a library management system that is shared with other NHS libraries across Yorkshire and the Humber and we administer NHS OpenAthens accounts for our users., This fixed term post (to 24th November 2025) is ideal for a graduate who is intending to proceed to a postgraduate library / information studies course. For the right candidate, there may also be the opportunity to undertake project work in preparation for academic studies in library and information management., The post incorporates a wide range of library duties including customer service, maintaining the day to day library processes and procedures, promotion of library services, library project work and providing administrative support to the library team.

This post is particularly suitable for someone committed to a career in librarianship and information work.

As a member of the very small library team, the post-holder will provide library counter-services, including the issuing, discharging, renewing and reserving of items using the YorCat library management system. The post will predominantly be based in the library space at White Rose Park, working independently from the other library team members.

You would ideally need experience of working in a library or similar environment (or equivalent NVQ Library and Information qualification), and you would need to have confidence and proficiency with IT, a flexible attitude to work and good communication skills.

Working for Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, Leeds Community Healthcare provides a range of community-based health services across the whole city. We treat people in their homes, local health centres and community hospitals, and work in partnership with other local Trusts, charities and Leeds City Council. We have a strong culture based on deeply-held values, and our focus at all times is on delivering high quality care to the people of Leeds. In our most recent CQC evaluation, we were rated "Good", with our Adult Services rated "Outstanding" for caring.
