“The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff” [Tim Healy]
This is a key front-line post, vital to the delivery of quality library services throughout Calderdale.
The post combines both 'traditional' stock issue/return with satisfying customer requests for stock/information - as well as support for customers using public PCs and for library events (readers groups, author talks).
If you want to become one of our “important assets”, it's essential that you have experience of working with the public in a library or other reception/customer service environment (in a paid or voluntary capacity), are literate, numerate, and willing to participate in promotional activities to keep libraries relevant to their local communities.
It's desirable that you have some experience of working with computerised systems, and of using online services - although training will be given on the job.
For an informal discussion about these posts and timetables, please contact libraries@calderdale.gov.uk
Closing Date: Tuesday 11th June 2024
Interview Date: TBC
We may utilise digital interview methods.
As part of our Vision (https://www.calderdale.gov.uk/vision/) we aim to be a talented, resilient and inclusive community. We welcome applications from all and offer a variety of flexible working / job share opportunities.
On 30 January 2019, the Council declared a climate emergency in a bold move to step up its action to tackle climate change.
Calderdale Council embraces the positive benefits of a diverse workforce and we are committed to providing an environment that is inclusive. We encourage applications from people who share our commitment to challenge inequality and promote diversity across Calderdale. We particularly welcome applications from communities that are currently under-represented in our organisation. All applications are anonymised before being seen by the selection panel.

We reserve the right to close vacancies prior to the advertised closing date, an early submission is advised.
