An opportunity exists for up to four staff to work in the Academic Liaison Team on a fixed-term part-time basis to carry out compliance checking for the Copyright Project between now and Friday 26th February. The work will be paid at band 4 and will involve systematically contacting academic staff to –
- Provide advice regarding copyright compliance and reporting requirements
- Document any instances of course readings provided outside of Learn
- Direct them to training or support if they need help to make their courses compliant
Project staff will report to Joan Simpson and will be supervised by a Liaison Librarian.
Current staff are encouraged to apply either to increase part-time hours or AYO hours or as a secondment for some or all of your existing hours worked. Our preference is for up to 4 staff to work ten hours per week each but other arrangements will be considered. A condition of appointment will be that regular duties are able to be backfilled. Funding is available for up to 40 hours per week for the project.
Candidates will be required to be self-motivated and exhibit a genuine desire to work closely with academic and library staff to interpret tricky problems and to negotiate win win solutions. You will be required to be methodical and keep accurate records.
Excellent communication skills will be key including communication by telephone, email, in writing and face to face. Some knowledge of copyright and elinking requirements in Learn would be helpful as would skills in excel.
Please register your interest with me via email by 9.00 am on Monday 16th November 2015 stating –
- Why this is an opportunity for you
- What attitudes and skills you will bring to the job
- When you are available for work
