Job description

We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented professional who enjoys working in a collaborative, structured, and fast-paced environment. If you thrive on accuracy, enjoy working with systems and data, and are passionate about delivering an outstanding student experience, we'd love to hear from you.

As a Resource Access Assistant, you will be supporting the collection management librarian to provide access to both print and electronic resources. You will have cataloguing experience and be familiar with library management systems and electronic databases. You'll be part of a team that is committed to continually improving our processes to enhance the experience of our ākonga (students).

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity to join the library team at Wintec. Our team plays a vital role in supporting students and staff with their information and literacy requirements.

The appointing salary for the role is between $59,700 and $74,600, depending on skills and experience.

This position is based at our Wintec City Campus and reports to the Library Manager.

To be successful in this role, you will bring a positive, customer-focused approach and enjoy working collaboratively to achieve shared goals. You will:

• Be organised, adaptable, and take pride in producing accurate, high-quality work.
• Have cataloguing experience.
• Be naturally empathetic, proactive, and have a positive approach.
• Have excellent attention to detail and confidence working with numbers and data.
• Have strong interpersonal, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to interpret policies and regulations and follow processes, while also continually adapting and improving them.
• Have well-developed organisational skills and the ability to manage deadlines.
• Exhibit strong computer skills, including confidence using Microsoft Excel and other business systems.
• The ability to undertake some physical demands such as lifting and moving heavy boxes and pushing library trolleys.
• Have a tertiary qualification at Level 5 or above, or at least 5-7 years' experience in an equivalent library role.
• Most importantly, you'll enjoy working as part of a supportive, collaborative team.

As an inclusive and supportive employer, we value diversity and want to encourage anyone interested to apply, regardless of whether you tick all the boxes or not.

We know that people from underrepresented groups and women in particular don't apply for roles if they're not a 100% match, but we're not looking for perfection; we're looking for potential.

We want to see the real you in your application and welcome the real you on board if you come and work with us. Skills are gained across many areas of life, not just in formal employment. If you can demonstrate the skills listed in the ad, but the experience was gained through whānau life, community or mahi aroha (volunteering) we encourage you to apply and share your story with us in your Cover Letter.

Wintec is committed to giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and delivering services in a manner that responds to the needs of Māori learners and their whānau, as well as the aspirations of iwi and Māori communities throughout our region (including Māori employers). To deliver effectively on this commitment, we recognise the need for a culturally competent and confident workforce vertically and horizontally across our organisation. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming environment where we learn and achieve together while strengthening and growing the whole person.
