Job Summary

Anna Freud is a world-leading mental health charity for children, young people and their families. Our mission is to close the gap in wellbeing and mental health by advancing, translating, delivering, and sharing the best science and practice with everyone who impacts the lives of children, young people and their families. More information about Anna Freud is available on our website: www.annafreud.org/about/

We value diversity and aim to have a diverse workforce that reflects the community and our service users, in line with our vision, values and inclusion commitments. We encourage applications from all sections of the community.

An exciting opportunity has come up within the small, specialised library of Anna Freud. The library supports over 600 University College London (UCL) postgraduates students and the staff of Anna Freud.

We are looking for a librarian who is able to respond to varied user needs and dedicated to providing a friendly high standard service. The role would suit an enthusiastic and responsible self-starter with strong collaboration and planning skills, who is familiar with the requirements of higher education and small specialist libraries. The post is a three-day per week job-share with one of the current librarians. Together they will support the diverse information needs of the users at Anna Freud including both staff and students.

The two part-time Librarians share the responsibility for the management, and promotion of the library’s services and resources and for ensuring the delivery of a high-quality information service that meets the needs and aims of Anna Freud.

This is a great opportunity to be involved in the planning and provision of a changing and expanding library service within a dynamic and high-profile mental health charity.
