Prison Library Assistant

3 months ago


Featherstone, Staffordshire, United Kingdom Staffordshire County Council Full time
Job Introduction

Do you have a passion for reading, literacy, information and customer service? Are you looking for a unique and inspiring role?


We see our library roles as more of a vocation, because you'll be part of a community of partners, providing a much-needed service to our library users.

The library is crucial in supporting the wellbeing of those in prison and it helps to promote positive behaviours in those library users.

So, the work you'll do will have a real impact on people's lives and the community.


HMP Featherstone is a category C adult male prison which has a team of one Library Assistant and led by the Library Supervisor.

It is a well-used and valued resource within the Prison and is currently open daily Monday to Saturday.

Prison library staff offer both outreach / wing based and main library, service provision, supporting all prisoners with access to books, information & resources.

Main Responsibilities
The prison / custodial environment can be challenging but also extremely rewarding.

Working in Prison Libraries is a vocational customer service role, that offers an opportunity to make a difference on a daily basis.


You will:
- provide and develop an essential service, encouraging and promoting creativity, literacy and reading for pleasure and learning.
- actively engage with customers, to support them in using their library space, service and resources for their personal and professional development and benefit both short and long term.


We aim to play a part in reducing reoffending and enabling prisoners in improving their prospects and situation whilst in custody and for a future on release in the community, linking with public libraries, and leading into resettlement.


You'll be a positive and proactive person with great customer-facing customer service skills and experience, and a love of reading.


We're looking for:
- a confident and calm person with integrity and a strong work ethic, who can work efficiently individually alone and as a part of a team; both the onsite Library and Prison team and in SCC Library Service.
- someone who is resilient, adapts well and positively to change and is a strategic and imaginative thinker.


If you're someone who is eager to help, support and engage with customers and colleagues, and who would strive to make a difference then this could be the job for you.
