Our libraries are at the heart of communities, providing a wide range of experiences and opportunities for all who wish to use them. Our staff engage with our communities to help create a thriving place to live, full of lifelong learning chances. Working as part of a team, the successful candidates will show that they can deliver high quality customer service and an understanding of the needs of different parts of the community.

Young people play a key role in many of our libraries - we support their needs and have initiatives that strike a balance between informal engagement and learning opportunities. It will help you in this role to understand young people’s hopes and challenges.

Libraries support digital inclusion, reduce poverty and inequalities, support social isolation and they play a key role in supporting attainment through initiatives such as the First Minister’s Reading Challenge, READ,WRITE,COUNT, and Bookbug. We support babies and new parents and children and young people. Teenagers can engage in positive activities and we help all ages develop their digital skills. We provide advice and signposting to older and more vulnerableresidents visiting the library to catch up over a cup of tea.

If you could be an effective team player in a service that puts customers first, please apply. We expect successful candidates to work in any library across the city.
