North Petherton, United Kingdom Somerset County Council Full time

**Why should I choose Somerset County Council?**
16.5 hours per week fixed term contract for 18 months

Well, for a start, we’re a hugely ambitious council, committed to improving lives for the residents, communities and businesses of Somerset.

And that’s why we’re working so hard to build a sustainable organisation with a culture that rewards, values and recognises our staff, and gives everyone here the opportunity to grow and develop, personally and professionally.

If you’re looking for a place where you work truly matters - where YOU truly matter - we might be just right for you.

**What will I be doing?**
We’re working to improve the lives of people in Somerset - and you’ll be a key part of that. Your day-to-day work will involve:

- Working in a customer centred environment, a busy community hub that services a diverse range of people, partners and organisations.
- Responding to a wide range of library and information enquiries, including providing support on how to access self-service tools or digital devices.
- Promoting Library Service Resources.
- Proactively planning, delivering and promoting library activities e.g. Children’s Story Times, LEGO groups, craft activities, health and wellbeing events, etc.
- Working alongside volunteers, providing a positive volunteering experience.

**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
We offer ongoing support, training and guidance to help you be the best you can be. But it will really help if you:

- Are well-motivated and provide a welcoming environment for our customers.
- Are hard-working and receptive to change, with a wide general knowledge, an interest in books, and a digital curiosity.
- Are able to work in a team, dealing with enquiries and requests, planning and delivering interactive activities and promoting our services.
- Are able to encourage the love of reading through a range of promotional activities in person and on line.
- Are confident in the use of digital technology, as you will be helping customers to use our equipment and their own.

We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**What will I be offered in return?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more

**Anything else I should know?**
From 1 April 2023 the County and District councils in Somerset will be replaced by a new single unitary authority - Somerset Council. It’s an exciting time to join us as we work together with the four district councils to deliver the new council for Somerset.

The salary for this role is £9,449 to £9,796 per annum.
