It's an exciting time to be in Invercargill and a privilege to work in this region.
You can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and endless recreational activities that Invercargill has to offer with Central Otago, Fiordland and the Catlins on our doorstep. As New Zealand's southernmost city we proudly encourage a good work-life balance and with direct flights to Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington the rest of the world is also within easy reach.
With a high level of confidence, our prosperous southern city is undergoing the biggest resurgence in its 166-year history. Invercargill's reputation for being family-friendly is well deserved, with affordable housing, great schools, and amazing facilities.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, well-organised person to take a leadership role in the delivery of collections and collection development across Invercargill City Libraries.

A major part of the role will be working with the Manager Heritage & Collections to constantly review and improve customer satisfaction with regards to collections.
With demonstrated experience in collection development practices and a strong customer focus, you will have an understanding of statistics and how to use them to inform decision-making, be confident in using new technologies, and be solutions-focused. Your great attention to detail will ensure streamlining workflows and processes are undertaken efficiently.
Having built successful relationships both internally and externally, your experience will ensure staff feel well supported and customers receive the best front line service.
