The opportunity
We regularly recruit Library Assistants for our term-time only weekend teams based across our six colleges, with different hours of employment ranging between 4.5 hours and up to a total of 14 hours a week with some weekday reserve hours required as part of the role.
Currently, we have 2 vacant term-time only posts working the following hours for up to 38 weeks a year. Any remaining hours are reserve hours which are worked over the year by agreement, to accommodate weekday opening, plus staff training and development:
Role 1: London College of Fashion (LCF), Stratford, Sunday Library Assistant, Grade 2
9.5 hours per week x 34 weeks and 5.75 hours x 4 weeks. 346 hours p.a. (FTE 0.22), term time only.
This is a 38 week a year contract, salary is spread across 12 months of the year.
The working pattern for this role is Sunday 09:45am – 20:15pm during BA term time (currently 30 weeks) and 4 Sundays 09:45am – 16:15pm outside BA term time.
This leaves a number of reserve hours to be worked by arrangement.
