Library Assistants may be timetabled, if required, at any branch in Sefton. Rotas include alternate Saturday working. The timetable will be prepared in advance, but late changes can occur, so flexibility and willingness to travel between branches is essential. A good standard of literacy and numeracy is essential, as is the ability to deal with a range of administrative and financial tasks. The People’s Network public-access computers operate throughout Sefton’s libraries and staff are required to handle basic enquiries on this as on other aspects of the service.
The role does involve the physical movement and handling of stock and shelving with extended periods of time spent on foot or standing up. Desirable attributes include a computer qualification (e.g. CLAIT, ECDL), experience of participating in promotional and community activities, and the ability to participate and deliver literacy activities such as story/rhyme time sessions for children. Applicants for posts at Grade D must be able to undertake facility-related security routines.
Interview date: 25/07/2025 to be held at Formby Library
