Community Library Service Centre Assistant

Rolleston, New Zealand

Reference: 6668348


About the role:

We welcome you to apply for a role as a casual Community Library Service Centre Assistant in our Arts, Culture and Lifelong Learning Team (ACLL), where you will contribute to a network of welcoming, professional, and responsive library and service centres. You will have the opportunity to work across a range of days and shifts providing cover for leave and assistance during busy periods as required across our four locations (Darfield, Leeston and Lincoln Libraries & Service Centres, and Te Ara Ātea in Rolleston) and our Edge Connector Vehicle.

You will be working with the ACLL whānau who are committed to serving Selwyn communities and making a difference across the district. Our team have diverse backgrounds and bring themselves, their interests, and passion to their mahi.

In this role you will use your excellent customer service skills to host to a diverse range of people from the Selwyn District and afar. Visitors to our sites come to experience our dynamic public library services and to access Council services (such as paying their rates or registering their dog) and government services (such as meeting with Inland Revenue). No day is the same and full training will be given to the successful applicants.

Responsibilities for this role include, but are not limited to;
  • Welcoming and interacting with people from all ages and walks of life
  • Providing technology assistance and help with digital resources.
  • Assisting the community with Council and library services
  • Helping people connect to central government and wider community services through the Heartlands initiative.
  • Finding, recommending, and shelving books and helping to keep our collections looking great

About you:

Our casual team works across all our locations and days of the week (including evening and weekend work), so you will need to be flexible, adaptable, and work in a collaborative and positive way. You enjoy working with others and are naturally able to relate to a wide range of people, including tamariki and rangatahi. Reliability, excellent communication, and taking initiative will be keys to success in this role. You have strong digital skills along with a good understanding of the kaupapa of a modern public library service.

What we can offer:

  • Great work-life balance with flexibility
  • Career coaching and development
  • Discounts with local and national businesses

About us:

Selwyn is one of the fastest-growing districts in New Zealand. We have a fantastic quality of life, great communities, and a thriving economy. Our Council works actively with residents to provide the services and facilities that help our communities to thrive and grow.

Our values are important to us and represent the way we work: · Be a good human · Be brave - Think differently · Better together.

We honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and we are committed to working with our Treaty partner to deliver on our obligations under Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We value the safety of our young people - this role requires a satisfactory safety check including police vetting. We value the safety of our kamahi - this role requires you to pass a drug and alcohol test.

If you'd like to play a part in making Selwyn the best place to live, work and play, join us today!
