Service Development Co-ordinator (Scottish Gaelic)
£22,000 FTE
21 hours per week (Monday to Friday, days negotiable)
Contract length: 12 months (probation period – 1 month)
Start date: September 2021
The Scottish Poetry Library aspires to engage with and showcase talented poets, performers and publishers from across all of Scotland’s communities, including Scottish Gaelic (Gaelic) speakers and writers. Our aim is to develop our collections, expertise and audiences to better reflect Scotland’s diversity of cultures and languages.
We have designed a new fixed-term role to pilot our work with Gaelic-speaking communities, and to help redesign our services delivered in the library and, increasingly, online through our digital platforms. We are looking to recruit a specialist to lead on the delivery of this programme of work, and to help us to
reach out and build sustainable partnerships with like-minded organisations.
We hope that, following an evaluation of the impact of the role, we will attract external funding to sustain the post beyond the pilot year of this contract.
You will be expected to work the equivalent of three full days, Mondays to Fridays. The successful candidate will be required to work in the library in Edinburgh for at least 10 of the contracted 21 hours to support the development of our collection of books, pamphlets, journals and archive material. The remaining hours can be worked from home.
As this is an outward-facing role, we hope that the post-holder would have the confidence and know-how to initiate and develop partnerships across a wide range of sectors, including arts & heritage, creative industries, public bodies and the Third Sector.
The post-holder will be line-managed by the Head Librarian. A small programme budget is available to facilitate external meetings and activities when COVID-19 guidelines permit.
Applications
Applicants should send a copy of their C.V. with a covering letter to the Scottish Poetry Library, 5 Crichton’s Close, Canongate, Edinburgh, EH8 8DT. The C.V. should be no more than four A4 sides and the covering letter no more than two A4 sides. Closing date: 23rd July 2021.
Interviews will be held during the week beginning 16th August. If you are invited to interview you will be asked to complete a written task before the interview starts.
For an informal discussion about the role, please contact Jill Mackintosh, Head Librarian at reception@spl.org.uk.
