**About Us**

Central Bedfordshire is an ambitious authority, determined to be an exemplary one. Our strategic location and high quality of life mean we are one of the fastest growing areas in the country.

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, who is able to provide a first-class service to customers at Dunstable 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 by meeting and greeting, floor-walking, and other activities.

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.

Although you will be based at one library, you must be able to work flexibly at other libraries if required. These posts have fixed hours, with the following positions available: Saturday 9am - 1pm, or Saturday 12pm - 4pm, or Sunday 12pm - 4pm.

- A comprehensive IT package to support you to work safely and effectively
- Generous family friendly policies and practices
- A welcoming and inclusive environment that empowers differences
- Friendly and supportive staff networks
- Annual leave allowance 25 days + statutory holidays rising to 32 days with length of service.

- An exceptional Employee Assistance Programme which helps support employees with workplace changes as well as other work, family and personal issues
- A huge variety of courses and role-specific training and learning to help you succeed and develop
- Access to discounts on top UK retailers and local retailers
