We have a vacancy at Wellington City Libraries for an experienced cataloguer who can provide leadership as we continually try to improve access to our collections, maximising their use and improving the customer experience.

You will lead our team of cataloguers and processors to ensure the best possible customer access to our physical and online collections, working closely with selectors and other library staff.

You will use your experience in cataloguing and information access to assess and implement the most appropriate standards and processes to make our collections accessible by members of the public. With good people management skills, you will guide our Technical Services Team to keep developing, and you will maintain good relationships with the rest of the library network and with our vendors. Your attention to detail and organisational skills will help oversee the flow of new collection materials, as well as sharing responsibility for managing the team within a busy distribution centre.

Requirements include a minimum of five years' cataloguing experience and a professional library qualification. A demonstrated ability to lead and manage staff is highly desirable.

The role is primarily based at the Collection & Distribution Centre in Johnsonville, but your work will take you across the whole library network.

The starting salary range is $76,744-$90,287, depending on relevant skills and experience.

Applications close 20 January 2021. Interviews will be held at the end of January, with an anticipated start date in early March 2021.
