The University of Northampton is looking for a Library Systems Developer to join a small team that provides technical support for the systems and services that underpin the work of the library in meeting the needs of library users for learning, teaching, and research.
The post will involve maintaining and developing services and troubleshooting issues with the university library systems, which include Alma, Primo VE, Leganto, Ezproxy and OpenAthens. This is a varied post and you will work closely with other library teams to share knowledge and best practice, as well as working with external suppliers and staff across the university to develop and enhance library and information systems.
We want you to be able to carry out your work in a way that best supports UON and our students, but also you as an individual.

With Smarter Working you can work with increased flexibility, if you would like to, which can facilitate greater freedom and autonomy.

About Us
Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That's why we were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.
We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.
Our commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that we do.
