The role
About Southwark:
Southwark is a large, ambitious and progressive council with a ‘can do’ attitude and enviable reputation. As a Council, we are successful, passionate and forward-thinking. We are committed to our ‘Fairer Futures for All’ promise which ensures that our residents and businesses are central to everything we do. If you want to make a difference at a local level, apply to Southwark Council today.
The Southwark skyline is an impressive sight. The incredibly diverse range of buildings, offices and social facilities make it a real mix of old and new.
With its vibrant, energetic feel, Southwark is a very attractive place to work if you relish the challenges of a dynamic and inner city context where complexity, change and energy are high.
The Role:
A modern library is more than lending books. It is a hub for the community, giving everyone access to lifelong learning, IT support and community engagement.
For those of us working in Southwark’s libraries, it is about providing a service that is as vibrant, diverse and interesting as the area we live in.
About you:
As the public face of our library, you will be there to ensure we deliver a high level of customer care while playing a key role in providing an efficient and effective service.
Flexible and adaptable, you will assist in providing book and audio loan services; assist the public with IT and general enquiries and with children and adult events.
We are looking for people with great communication skills and a high standard of customer care to a diverse community and work well in a team.
You will have good understanding of basic computing and word processing, web browsing and an enthusiasm for libraries, promoting literature for all ages.
