Kortext is an exciting and fast-growing tech business in the education sector. As the leading provider of e-books and e-textbooks for universities and students we need great people to join our team. Our mission in life is to help all students to be the best they can be by enhancing the learning experience, improving retention and delivering better outcomes. Can you help us with that?
Do you have library experience? Are you a confident self-starter ? We are currently looking to recruit a full time Library Customer Services Assistant who will play a key part supporting our small but very busy Customer Services (Support) team, initially on a 3-month fixed term contract with a view to a permanent position. The company is based in Bournemouth but owing to the current situation the role is currently remote home based, with a requirement to attend occasional team meetings in Bournemouth.
