We are looking for someone to manage our Home Library Service (HLS), delivering a tailor-made library service to people in their own homes across Islington who are unable to visit the library. Some of our users are very vulnerable, so you will need to be understanding and empathetic.

You will organise the work and visiting schedule, select and acquire stock, communicate with service users, and liaise with council colleagues and the local Voluntary and Community Sector.

This can be a challenging role requiring empathy and patience, but it is very rewarding, and truly makes a positive difference to people's lives.
