Responsibilities:
BASED AT EITHER ASHFORD OR SUNBURY LIBRARY, THE STARTING SALARY FOR THIS ROLE IS £1,883.25 PER ANNUM FOR WORKING 3 HOURS PER WEEK ON A SATURDAY. THE FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT SALARY IS £22,559 PER ANNUM.
We are looking for enthusiastic and self-motivated Weekend Library Assistants to join our dedicated teams based at either Ashford or Sunbury Library. You will also be required to work at other libraries as may be required from time to time.
Libraries are spaces for social interaction, learning and cultural experiences. Acting as an economic enabler providing support for local communities and businesses. Surrey’s libraries offer vital services to all members of their communities.
ABOUT THE ROLE
There is something for everyone at Surrey’s libraries and the same day never happens twice!
The library is many different things to many different people. Curious readers come looking for their next adventure. Students meet to revise for their exams. Families gather for Storytime and Rhymetime. Special interest groups share their passions and older people access resources and secure their bus pass. Weekend Assistants greet each person with a positive attitude and resilient approach to any request.
Customer service is at the forefront of the library service. They are busy, lively places to work. Requiring flexibility, creativity, and initiative. This could mean helping someone with a reading recommendation, thinking up new themes for book displays, planning events or assisting people with information and virtual services. Maintaining, presenting, and processing book stock is also a major part of the role.
The role may include leading craft events, Rhymetime and Storytime sessions, and assisting with other activities directed at both children and adults. From time to time there will be a need for lone working or single staffing at this and other libraries in the area.
