At the Alexander Turnbull Library we hold extensive audiovisual collections. These collections provide a unique record of the activities of New Zealand individuals, whanau, iwi and organisations throughout history.
We have an exciting opportunity for an energetic library assistant wanting to develop a wide range of skills in library activities, especially in handling collections and ensuring our collections are discoverable, to join the Alexander Turnbull Library and be part of a major project to digitise and preserve New Zealand's audiovisual documentary heritage.

**The key elements of this role include**:

- Working closely with the Audiovisual Digitisation team to prepare items for digitisation, and ensure the team meets its goals and targets

A high level of computer literacy is required and you must be physically fit, able to retrieve and return large, awkward and heavy items located in both low and high shelving areas in stores that are environmentally controlled with temperatures ranging from 2 degrees to 15 degrees to suit long term preservation of heritage collections in different formats.
Come and discover genuine job satisfaction by helping us deliver even better services to New Zealand.
