Further Information
Stockton Libraries and Information Services is looking for a new team member to drive forward our new Business and Intellectual Property Centre at Stockton Central Library
The BIPC will support start-ups, individuals and entrepreneurs across Tees Valley to develop the insight, skills and confidence they need to establish and grow successful businesses. As part of a national project led by the British Library, the Centre has now received funding for two years to roll out services in Stockton and to partner libraries across the Tees Valley region.
This role will sit in the Business & IP Centre team and will help to deliver a portfolio of services which enable entrepreneurs and SMEs from all walks of life to utilise the BIPC collections and resources, to set up and run a successful business.
The post will support the day-to-day delivery of core Business & IP Centre services, including the delivery of workshops, webinars and events, one-to-one clinics (both face-to-face and online), and responding to business information and intellectual property enquiries from customers.
Candidates should be educated to degree level and an appropriate library and information qualification is desirable. You must possess excellent communication skills and be able to engage with a wide range of people’s information needs proactively. Experience of delivering training will also be important and a good knowledge of information resources and enquiry skills is essential.
This is a two-year fixed term post which will include occasional early morning and late evening work.
Both posts are funded through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to support the growth of the British Library Business & IP Centre National Network.
