Customer Services Assistant

Permanent, Full Time and Part Time

Up to £23,344 per annum (FTE)

Location: Chelmsford and surrounding areas

Working Style: 

Come and join us in Libraries where we’re starting to reimagine what our libraries are going to be and help our present and future customers have the best experience possible.

We are currently recruiting a Customer Services Assistant based within our libraries across Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. Please note this role will include Saturday working. For part time hours the salary will be pro rata.

Due to the different areas where you may work, the job role requires you to be mobile throughout an operational area.

The Role

You’ll join a service that is undergoing change. Libraries around the UK are evolving to meet the differing demands of our customers. The demands are often different dependent on the location of our Libraries, and this is where your knowledge will be invaluable. You’ll support with book circulation and issuing, signpost customers to different services and be our ears and eyes for what makes the difference to our customers. We want you to feel proud to play your role.

The Opportunity

Our Customer Service team are at the heart of what we do- they are the face of our libraries and our driving force. To join them you’ll need to be confident helping a diverse range of customers, with demands that change daily. We have an inclusive environment – your experience, your age and your perspectives are welcome in our team.

Key Responsibilities

First and foremost – you like helping people. If you’ve got some IT skills – self-taught or not, that’s ideal. We use self-service equipment, and our customers need your empathy and patience at all time. Health & Safety is key to what we do. We’d like you to be the kind of person who sees things that need sorting and help sort them out. You’ll help with promotional activities – we generate income in all our libraries and value your ideas. Especially ones that can be rolled out across all Libraries. Assisting customers to use the library catalogue and learn to use the full library offer. Ensure seamless stock circulation and management, involving sorting, shelving, tidying, and handling reservations, fines, and membership activities. Data drives us – you’ll help us look at it in different ways, ensuring that we focus on the customer and staff to improve what we offer. Our smaller libraries have less staff, so we’ll ask you to help out with unlocking / locking up, and ask you to be a trusted keyholder.

Experience and Qualifications:

We welcome candidates with a diverse range of experiences and qualifications. Here’s a sample – what we’re interested in is if you are brilliant at the basics which include:

Possession of a Driving Licence Demonstration that you know how to use IT systems, or have the ability to learn Customer service experience in any area Confidence in speaking to our customers and signposting them to Library services, other parts of the Council services and our partner organisations.
