Weekend Library Assistant - Camberley, United Kingdom - Surrey County Council
Description
Description
Based at Camberley and Frimley Green Libraries, the salary for this role is £1,883.25 per annum based on a 3-hour working week (Saturdays 10am to 1pm). The full-time equivalent salary is £22,599.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and self-motivated Weekend Library Assistant to join our dedicated team. You will be based at Camberley Library, you will also be required to work at Frimley Green and Lightwater Libraries.
Libraries are spaces for social interaction, learning and cultural experiences. Acting as an economic enabler providing support for local communities and businesses. Surrey's libraries offer vital services to all members of their communities.
Rewards and Benefits
About the Team
Surrey Libraries hold a unique place in our communities. They provide universal access through a programme of reading, learning digital, health and wellbeing activities.
Our vision is for our libraries to become hubs of the community that all are proud of. With excellent customer service at its heart, we need people who share this passion to become more successful.
About the Role
There is something for everyone at Surrey's libraries and the same day never happens twice.
The library is many different things to many different people. Curious readers come looking for their next adventure. Students meet to revise for their exams. Families gather for Storytime and Rhymetime. Special interest groups share their passions and older people access resources and secure their bus pass. Weekend Assistants greet each person with a positive attitude and resilient approach to any request.
Customer service is at the forefront of the library service. They are busy, lively places to work. Requiring flexibility, creativity, and initiative. This could mean helping someone with a reading recommendation or thinking up new themes for book displays. Maybe planning events or assisting people with information and virtual services. Maintaining, presenting, and processing book stock is a major part of the role.
The role may include leading craft events, Rhymetime and Storytime sessions, and assisting with other activities directed at both children and adults. From time to time there will be a need for lone working or single staffing at this and other libraries in the area.
