This is a key front-line post, vital to the delivery of quality library services throughout Calderdale.
Forget the traditional view of a library, we are now vibrant community hubs offering a safe space for all. A modern library service doesn’t only offer books – we also provide digital services, community engagement, a social experience, access to lifelong learning, and a warm welcome for everyone.
Calderdale Libraries participate in the Warm Welcome scheme every year, supporting the Council’s commitment to helping residents with the cost-of-living crisis.
If you want to join our team, it’s essential that you have experience of working with the public in a library or other customer service environment (in a paid or voluntary capacity.) You will be literate and numerate, with a good general level of education and willing to participate in promotional activities to keep libraries relevant to their local communities.
It’s essential that you have some experience of working with computerised systems and of using online services. Our Libraries offer public computer facilities, Wi-Fi, wireless printing and scanning, digital books and apps – assisting customers to use these resources is an important part of the role.
Calderdale has 12 libraries across the borough and staff can be asked to work flexibly across different sites. This may include lone working, key holding, building responsibilities and cash management.
Our buildings are busy with customers, groups, events and meetings and staff should expect to be on their feet for large parts of the day.
