Library Project Assistant - Swindon

We are seeking a temporary Project Assistant to support a time-limited project to sort, catalogue, and manage the disposal of books from an older library collection. This is a hands‑on role suited to someone with strong attention to detail, an interest in books and libraries, and ideally some familiarity with library management systems.

This project is likely to be between 1 and 3 months. Due to the location near Swindon your own transport is highly beneficial.

Key responsibilities

- Sorting and condition‑checking decanted books
- Identifying duplicates, outdated, rare, or damaged items
- Creating metadata for recent or unrecorded items using the Koha Library Management System
- Updating existing records in Koha
- Classifying and labelling stock
- Producing basic progress and completion reports

About you

- Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
- Comfortable with repetitive, physical tasks (lifting, sorting, shelving)
- Experience with library cataloguing systems (Koha experience desirable but not essential)
- Ability to work independently and manage own workload to meet project deadlines
- An interest in books, archives, or library collections is a plus
