Information Services Group / Library & University Collections / Library Academic Support Team.
Full Time - 35 hours per week.
Fixed Term Contract - from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027.
The Opportunity:
Unlocking your career. Be part of something bigger.
Here, you can continue to make a difference in everything around you. Take on new challenges, grow your career, be recognised for your contributions, and benefit from our commitment to your wellbeing. Be part of something bigger — where your work has real impact and your development matters. There are so many reasons to take your next step with us.
The University of Edinburgh is a world-class organisation. We are a large University covering a wide range of activities. In Professional Services, we support the University’s research and teaching, offering many career and role specialisms.
The University of Edinburgh is offering a traineeship aimed at those interested in pursuing a career in the information and library profession and have a strong desire to learn. The UK library profession currently identifies as 92% white and we’ve created this opportunity to seek to directly enable underrepresented individuals in their library career. We welcome applications from all qualified candidates, and particularly encourage applications from ethnic minority candidates, as we acknowledge the underrepresentation in the library profession.
This 12-month fixed term traineeship is an excellent opportunity for aspiring library professionals to join a friendly and welcoming Library team and aims to provide an individual with the experience required to undertake a postgraduate qualification in library or information studies. It’s an exciting opportunity to be part of a dynamic team and to get first-hand experience of delivering a wide range of high-quality services in a large and diverse academic library.
The traineeship is full-time (35hrs per week) but we will consider requests for part-time working. The working pattern will allow some hybrid working, with the individual required to work in person on-campus in Edinburgh for particular assignments. While it is a broad-ranging traineeship that will give the individual knowledge and experience of various aspects of service provision, there will be a focus on library services for medicine.
What the job involves:
providing support for information skills development activities, such as assisting with inductions and teaching sessions, reviewing materials, and analysing feedback for quality improvement.
Assisting with communications projects, including working with the Social Media team.
Assisting with user enquiries received at in-person service points or via our online enquiry management systems.
Contributing to the development of services in collaboration with colleagues, to improve our users’ experience of the library.
