- Password Resets
- Answering general queries
- Following training on the legal databases, you will be required to conduct research

The successful candidate will be well organised, detail oriented, have strong IT capabilities, and have a good team working ethic.

- Has worked with online databases before and is confident with online systems
- Can confidently interact and communicate with primarily internal stakeholders
- Ideally has worked in professional services (but not essential)
- Previous library experience desirable but not essential
