This is an exciting opportunity to join the University of Liverpool's Cultural Heritage team in Libraries, Museums and Galleries.

Based in Special Collections and Archives, in the Sydney Jones Library we are seeking a Collections Access Assistant.

You will respond to enquiries, facilitate access to collection material, support reading room, teaching and group visits, deliver reprographics and imaging services, and contribute to a welcoming and inclusive user experience.
