Learning Resources Assistant

We are looking for an enthusiastic LRC Assistant to join the New City College library team based at our Redbridge campus with occasional working at our other nearby sites of Epping and Ilford.  We serve a culturally and socially diverse community and offer a wide variety of courses from Entry to postgraduate levels. This role would suit candidates with experience in a customer-facing environment, and library experience, whilst not essential, is desirable. Good IT skills are essential as you will be supporting students’ computer use in addition to meeting their reading and information needs. You need to be educated to A-level equivalent standard and be passionate about delivering a high-quality service and have the flexibility, creativity and imagination to engage every learner and encourage them to succeed.

New City College is the dynamic group of further education colleges in East London and Essex which comprises Tower Hamlets College, Hackney Community College, Epping Forest College, Redbridge College, Havering College of Further & Higher Education and Havering Sixth form College. Our group is at the forefront of further education in the region. With a turnover of £105m, 20,000 students and 1900 staff it is one of the strongest and most influential further education organisations in the country.

Our college environment is second to none. We have industry standard facilities and equipment at all campuses, expert staff and partnerships with other high-profile organisations which all prepare students for progression to higher education or successful careers.

As the College supports a number of children and vulnerable adults, all staff are exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Accordingly, all staff will be subject to an ‘Enhanced’ DBS (formerly CRB) check, along with a Children’s Barred List check if in regulated activity. Any offers of appointment may be withdrawn if these checks prove to be unsatisfactory to the College. Self-disclosure will be required as part of the recruitment process. If you fail to make a full disclosure or provide sight of your DBS certificate then your offer of employment is likely to be withdrawn. The College's DBS policy covers the recruitment of ex-offenders which is available upon request.

New City College aims to develop a workforce that reflects the diverse community we serve and actively welcome applications from candidates from a BAME background.

Interviews will take place on : 30th October
