Do you want to work in a place where you can promote reading for pleasure; or help at Lego and code clubs; and even sing at rhyme times for toddlers? Can you deliver excellent customer service and help people struggling in the digital world? Our ideal candidate is a reading enthusiast who is more likely to organise a STEM event and tweet about it than say ‘Shhh’. Libraries are about books and so much more. We’re offering this brilliant opportunity for you to join us as we continue to innovate. From day one you’ll be working in the Healthy Living Centre Library, a customer focused environment, in a busy community hub that serves a diverse range of people, partners and organisations.
About you
We are looking for dynamic, well-motivated people to provide a welcoming environment to our customers. You will be hard-working and receptive to change, with a wide general knowledge, an interest in books, and a digital curiosity. You’ll be capable of working alone as well as within a team, dealing with enquiries and requests, planning and delivering interactive activities, and promoting our services. You’ll be encouraging the love of reading through a range of promotional activities. Confidence in the use of digital technology is essential; as you will be helping customers to use our equipment and their own.
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do. We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. We offer an excellent benefits package to all our employees including:
