Job Introduction

About Us

Oxfordshire has a wonderful balance between beautiful Cotswold countryside and quaint villages and towns against the urban dynamic of the world-renowned university City of Oxford and surrounding market towns. It is a thriving county with one of the fastest growing economies in the country with a rapidly growing science sector in and around the county and is the base for many national and internationally recognised companies and organisations. Oxford has good transport links to London and the rest of the country.

Libraries in Oxfordshire are trusted spaces, free to enter and open to all. Our libraries offer a range of books, digital and other resources and trained staff to help our customers. We provide cultural and creative enrichment, promote reading and literacy and provide digital access and support for our users. Our aim is to help everyone achieve their full potential and to lead healthier and happier lives with greater prosperity and stronger, more resilient communities.

About the Role

The role is customer facing and involves continual interaction with users of the library and library customer service advisers. The staff member delivers events within the library but will need to build and maintain relationships with the wider community. The role is detail oriented and involves performing administrative and clerical duties and organising library materials and information.

This role will involve the running of events and customer experiences in the library, and supporting our young volunteers through library placements. This position is peripatetic and will require travel to libraries within a 25 mile radius to provide cover. This role starts at Pay Grade 5 with the option to progress to Pay Grade 6 after 18 months.

The role covers one late night per week till 7pm and 1 in 4 Saturdays.

We reserve the right to close this role early if we meet a high volume of applicants.

About you

We are looking for a flexible, enthusiastic and highly motivated person to promote the role of the library within the community. You will be able to demonstrate a love of reading and the ability to enthuse others, whilst having the skills needed to engage with people from all backgrounds, including volunteers.

Rewards and benefits

Culture of flexible working
Technology to support agile working where role permits
25 day’s holiday pro rate, p.a. plus bank holidays
Option to ‘buy’ additional holiday
Employee Assistance Programme including access to health and wellbeing support
Membership of the Local Government contributory pension scheme, with an employer’s contribution of up to 19.9%
Enhanced family friendly policies
Local and national discounts for shopping and travel
Great learning and development opportunities to support your ongoing development.

Your office base may be subject to change as we are currently transitioning between temporary and permanent office locations due to the closure of County Hall. If this is applicable to you, you will be notified, but no reimbursement will apply in respect of travel.
