As a council we face the same challenges every business does - investing in the right places and delivering great results. Except for us, it’s all about our 289,000 residents. We’re totally focussed on helping to improve their lives and making Central Bedfordshire a great place to live and work.

We have set values and principles to represent the way we work and how we operate as an organisation. You can view a list of these in detail on our website.

This is a great time to join us on our journey.

***More about the role**:
We are looking for an enthusiastic person able to provide a first class service to customers at Biggleswade Library. You will deliver a high level of customer service and interact effectively with a wide range of people on a daily basis. The day-to-day duties include: assisting customers to use our self-service terminals, finding books and information for customers, taking part in promotional activities for both children and adults, and dealing with library stock. You will actively promote and encourage the use of the Library.

You will help to deliver a vibrant, high quality, relevant and sustainable library service by contributing to Library Strategy priorities, engaging with new and existing customers and helping to increase library usage, and supporting the continuing modernisation and transformation of this important service.

Experience of working with the public in front-line customer service, IT skills (GNVQ level 2 or equivalent), and an interest in books, reading, and information are essential. While experience of working in a library would be advantageous, more importantly, you will bring your enthusiasm, great communication skills, and excellent customer service.
