SWRLS is a charitable organisation uniting libraries across the South West region and across the library sector, including Higher Education, Further Education, Public, Schools, NHS Hospital & Health, Specialist libraries such as cathedrals, museums and others. It celebrates its ninetieth year in 2027 and is the only such regional membership organisation in the country. Its mission is to foster collaboration, networking and workforce development for public good.

We are looking to appoint a part-time Coordinator of the work we do on a freelance or consultancy basis. Accountable to a board of trustees, the Coordinator role offers flexibility, homeworking (with some regional travel) and intellectual challenge in the shape of project-management, fundraising, research and development, communications and administration of a wide, diverse and growing membership across the region.

The role is offered on a part-time, freelance basis with an initial fixed term contract of two years at a daily rate of £180.00 per day. A typical working week is 1.5-2 days (approx. 11-15 hours) but may vary depending on need.
