We are the University of Cumbria, a place where people are at the heart of all we do, where enriching the lives of our students, staff and the communities we serve means we make a difference that really matters.

You will be the first point of contact for many library and student services enquiries, whether face to face, by telephone, by email or by other contact methods. Passionate about providing excellent customer service, you will deal with routine and non-standard enquiries in a way that meets the needs and expectations of users.

This role works as part of the team in the library at our Lancaster campus, and there will be times when you are working alone. Library housekeeping duties include shelving, stock checking and tidying and helping students to locate resources.
