A modern library is about more than lending books. It’s a hub for the community, giving everyone access to greater information and understanding. For those of us working in Southwark’s libraries, it’s about providing a service that’s as vibrant and interesting as the area we live in.
As the public face of our library, you’ll be there to ensure we deliver a high level of customer care, while playing a key role in providing efficient and effective services. As you’d expect, you’ll have books to lend out and returns to organise, while you’ll also be on hand to answer any enquires and provide support for the public. But you’ll also help organise and run a range of events and promotional activities, from book groups and toddler sessions to IT taster sessions and author events.
Flexible, adaptable and organised, you will not be afraid of taking charge of the building, staff and premises, if required. We are looking for people with great communication skills and a high standard of customer care who can show understanding to a wide range of customers. It’s very important that you have strong organisation skills and can work well in a team.
You will have a good understanding of basic computing, including word processing and web browsing and an enthusiasm for libraries and promoting literature to all ages.
Additional details
An enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is required.
