The landscape of local knowledge and community connection is evolving, and Living Well Rutland is looking for a strategic leader to help steer the ship. A vacancy has been announced for a Community Access Library Stock & Systems Coordinator, a pivotal role designed to ensure that Rutland’s literary and digital resources remain both modern and accessible.
This isn't just a role for someone who loves books; it is a high-level position for an experienced and motivated Librarian who understands the complex "back-end" of a 21st-century library service. The successful candidate will oversee the life cycle of information across Rutland’s four main library hubs and its vital outreach programs.
The Stock & Systems Coordinator acts as the engine room of the library service. While the front-facing staff engage with the public, this role ensures that the tools they use—and the collections they offer—are seamless and high-quality.
Key Responsibilities Include:
Collection Development: Leading the strategic management of library stock to ensure it reflects the diverse needs and interests of the Rutland community.
System Oversight: Maintaining the effective operation of the Library Management System (LMS), ensuring that borrowing, searching, and digital access remain user-friendly.Bibliographic Services: Overseeing the technical data and cataloging that allow residents to find exactly what they need, when they need it.
A Focus on "Living Well"
As part of the Living Well Rutland initiative, this role carries a deeper purpose. Rutland’s libraries are no longer just quiet places for reading; they are essential community hubs that support well-being, reduce isolation, and provide digital inclusion. By managing the stock and systems effectively, the Coordinator directly impacts the quality of life for residents accessing these services.
Are You the Right Chapter?
The team is looking for a professional with a blend of technical expertise and leadership vision. If you have a background in librarianship and a passion for how technology can enhance community access, this is a rare opportunity to take on a senior role within a supportive local government framework.
