We are OnFife and as Fife’s largest cultural organisation we specialise in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up and imaginations run wild. We work with a huge range of partners, artists and creatives and our spaces are some of Fife’s favourite places. An ambitious leadership-oriented charity, we’re built on strong values, and those values make us who we are – Fearless, Inviting, Fair and Exciting.
We’re a real Living Wage employer, and we offer a local government pension scheme, generous holiday allowance and flexible working opportunities. If you need to travel for work, we can provide pool cars if you’re near head office or pay travel expenses, so you are not out of pocket! Along with this, you can also access discounted gym/swim memberships and other employee benefits.
The Role
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to join us as an Assistant Area Manager responsible for the management and operational delivery of the Library Service and associated activities across several Branches in the St Andrews area (St Andrews, St Monans, Elie & Tayport Libraries).
You will be responsible for ensuring a consistently high level of customer service is provided, company policy is adhered to, building compliance and standards are maintained and a positive health & safety culture is embedded across all branches. You will be responsible for all aspects of people management for your team as well as their training and development.
As a member of our Operations Management Team, you’ll work closely with various teams across OnFife to maintain and improve library service and customer experience.
This is a full-time post and your days and hours of working will flex to meet the business needs. The working pattern is to be confirmed but this will include weekend and evening working.
