We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and versatile person to create a welcoming environment for a diverse range of customers. You will be excellent at multi-tasking, proactive, quick and efficient and enjoy working under pressure.

You will be passionate about what public libraries can offer, and able to promote our services. Although there is plenty of routine work, there are many opportunities to be creative. Training will be given on specific library systems, but an ability to work with IT is assumed.

You will:

• be confident working on your own using your initiative.
• have excellent communication and digital skills.
• be able to work with volunteers.
• be able to quickly master the varied aspects of library routines, including front line customer care, using the library management system, the self-service machines, handling cash, stock requests and stock circulation procedures.
