Fancy a change of scene? We are recruiting...

The Richmond Library

It's no secret that working in a library is a popular choice (indeed, in 2015 YouGov research listed librarian as the 2nd most desirable job in Britain). If this is something that appeals to you, we may be able to help.

We are currently recruiting for a part-time library assistant (working Wednesday to Friday, 9-5), based at the Richmond Library, Northampton General Hospital, but also providing cover for our satellite library at Isebrook Hospital in Wellingborough.

We're looking for someone with great customer service skills as you will often be the first point of contact with the NHS staff who use our services.

We need someone who is adaptable, confident, and able to deal with the full range of staff and students. You will have a good level of general education and be IT literate. Previous experience of working in a library would be a bonus but is by no means essential. A sense of humour would also be an asset.

Our library assistants undertake a range of general duties including staffing our reception desks and dealing with users, carrying out library inductions, sourcing documents, answering enquiries and supporting users with finding information and general IT queries.

You will also be given overall responsibility for one or more areas of work, and of course, appropriate training will be given.

If you are interested in this role you can find more information, including how to apply, on the NHS Jobs web site here.

We look forward to hearing from you...
