**Overview**:
Buckinghamshire Libraries are looking for a Customer Services Officer to join our friendly team in the Amersham & Chesham group based in Chesham Library. We are seeking people who share our focus on customer service and who would enjoy engaging people with services that can enrich their lives.

**About the role**:
This is a supervisory position with responsibility for looking after the daily running of a library as part of a small team.

Please see the attached job summary for more detail.

This role will involve working as part of a library group across multiple sites, so applicants must be willing and able to work at multiple locations. Chesham Library will be the typical location, but there will also be a need for travel to libraries across Buckinghamshire to provide relief cover.

This is a part-time role of 30.25 hours per week. The working pattern is as follows:
Mondays 8.30am - 7.00pm

Tuesdays 9.00am - 5.00pm

Wednesdays 9.00am - 1.00pm

Thursdays 9.00am - 5.00pm

Fridays X

Alternate Saturdays 9.30am - 4.00pm

Sundays X

Saturdays will be worked on an alternating basis (one week on, one week off) with a consistent pattern.

**Fixed**

As a ‘fixed’ worker, you’ll spend most of your time in the same location, which will likely be a fixed office or location where your role is performed. Typically, you’ll be based in the same location as the rest of your team, because you provide a particular service from that fixed location or need access to information there.

**About you**:
Are you passionate about the role libraries can play in transforming the lives of children, young people and families? Are you keen to promote wellbeing in the community, including combating loneliness and social exclusion?

If you're brilliant at helping customers with enquiries, with skills to promote and help access to digital services, and you’re keen to develop the library as a community hub with access to information, then we want to hear from you.

You should also have experience in supervision and supporting staff or volunteers in delivering professional and knowledgeable customer service to residents and visitors.

**Other information**:
Please note this is a part-time role. The salary of £22,778 is based on full-time hours and will be pro-rata for the 30.25 weekly hours worked.

This post is covered by the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore applicants are required to declare:

- Unspent convictions and/or unspent conditional cautions only

For further information on how long it takes for convictions and conditional cautions to be spent, please refer to Nacro’s guide on the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act.

**Our values and culture**:
We have a set of values, which our employees have chosen, that represent what we are - Proud, Ambitious, Collaborative and Trustworthy.

By joining Buckinghamshire Council, you can expect:

- a fair and inclusive culture
- the chance to really make a difference to those around you
- health and well-being initiatives including an Employee Assistance Programme, Mental Health First Aiders and mindfulness workshops
- a unified voice through our Employee Representative Group
- ongoing support, and the opportunity to develop and progress in your career with us
- opportunities to take part in fun activities such as fundraising and social events

At Buckinghamshire Council, we know that our biggest strength comes from the people that work for us, and that’s why we’re working hard to ensure we continue to be an accessible and inclusive organisation.

From dedicated staff networks overseen by our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group, to proudly standing as a Disability Confident employer, it’s important to us that all our colleagues feel engaged, listened to, and valued. Our offer of flexible working empowers a productive and happy workforce and allows employees to combine work with other responsibilities and commitments.

We believe our workforce should reflect the diverse communities we service in Buckinghamshire, and are looking for like-minded individuals to join us in promoting equality, fairness, and inclusion for everyone.
