Job Introduction

Based at Leatherhead Library, the starting salary for this role is £3260 per annum for working 6 hours per week (Saturdays). The full-time equivalent salary is £19,560 per annum.


As a Weekend Library Assistant, you will bring your enthusiasm to a role that provides vital services to the people of Surrey.

There is something for everyone at our libraries... 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. Older people access resources and secure their bus pass. The library is many different things to many different people.


Customer service is at the forefront of what we do, and you will need to utilise your positive attitude and resilience to deal with a wide range of enquiries.

Libraries are busy, lively places to work that require creativity and initiative to ensure every customer has the best experience possible.


An average day might involve providing book recommendations, helping a customer use Microsoft Office, and taking part in a children's reading activity.

You will also keep borrower records up to date and support library colleagues with events.

Our vision is for Surrey's libraries to become hubs of the community that all are proud of.

We are looking for someone who shares this goal and is committed to creating a library where everyone feels welcome and is treated with fairness and respect.

  • What do you think good customer service looks like from a Weekend Library Assistant?
