About us

Hillingdon Council: Putting our Residents first.

Hillingdon Council is committed to its libraries. All 17 of its buildings have been refurbished or rebuilt and are now being modernised and redecorated. Our libraries are community hubs, with thousands of events each month for children, adults and older people. Hillingdon Libraries are now open longer and offer first-rate facilities and activities.

About the role

Hillingdon Council are recruiting two permanent Library Assistants. Please note the salary will be pro-rata for part time roles.

The Library Service are seeking passionate individuals who are committed to delivering a high quality Library service to our residents.

We have a range of posts available across our Libraries to include:

- 25 hours per week - Yeading Library
- 18 hours per week - Botwell Green Library

As a Library Assistant, you will undertake a range of tasks and duties under the direction of the Branch Manager. The core purpose of this role will be to encourage the use of library services within the community, and to assist service users in making effective use of the resources and information available to them.

About you

You will be working in a busy and pressured environment, so you will need to be confident and comfortable in a front-facing position in order to provide a customer oriented service to the public. You will need to have excellent communication skills with the ability to communicate clearly with customers and team members both verbally and in writing.

Applicants will be expected to be able to ensure the efficient operation of the front line service in the absence of a manager.

You will regularly encounter library users that require computer assistance and therefore good IT skills and sound knowledge of the Microsoft Office packages will be essential. In addition, you will need to be organised and methodical and able to follow instructions accurately, carrying out tasks and supporting users.

**We offer a range of Company benefits. These vary according to the business area and role but may include**:

- local government average salary pension scheme
- free parking (4 days a week) if based at the Civic Centre
- a 36-hour week for all full-time staff
