    Description

    Job Vacancy

    Our libraries are at the heart of our communities, and we are looking for creative and enthusiastic people to join our library team.

    This role consists of assisting in the delivery of a comprehensive range of library services, promoting the aims of the service and taking part in a full range of activities for children and adults to help encourage literacy, learning and social inclusion through library use. We encourage applications from those with strong customer focussed approach who will contribute to ensuring that our libraries continue to be the focal point for our communities.

    Day to day work will be varied and will demand a high quality of customer service at all times. Administrative tasks, supporting users to access the library appropriately, and helping with information, signposting and ICT will be commonplace. Postholders will also be involved in a full range of library events and promotional activities for adults and children, including supporting author visits, creating displays, story-telling and craft activities helping all groups to discover the joy of reading and learning. Library Assistants will also be regularly delivering Bookbug sessions for babies and families, encouraging and supporting literacy through singing, rhymes and stories.

    We have a number of vacancies across the authority and whilst we recruit to individual branches, staff are expected to work at any library if required to.

    Minimum Criteria:

    The jobholder requires a minimum qualification of three standard grades or equivalents including English and Mathematics. Relevant experience in a library or customer service role is desirable but not essential. The jobholder should be flexible with good communication and team working skills. You must demonstrate an interest in the Library Service and a commitment to the provision of an efficient and customer-focused service. Knowledge of different types of software and confident use of the electronic resources are required in order to assist users with computers and similar devices.

    Note: Applicants should indicate which post(s) they are applying for within their application.
