Interview Date/Type: Monday 27th July 2026

About the Role

As a Library and Digital Apprentice/Advisor, you will be working as part of a busy team delivering services across several Libraries in the borough. The role of the library service is to deliver against our Universal Offers developed for public library services which are:

• Reading
• Information and Digital
• Culture and Creativity
• Health and Wellbeing

These core promises shape the services we offer, and therefore the role of Library and Digital Apprentice/Advisor.

You will promote and encourage the benefits of reading for pleasure and help support people when loaning/returning/renewing items, as well as searching for and reserving stock.

You will play a key role in developing and running a wide range of activities and events across libraries, including children’s activities such as Storytime and Rhymetime, craft activities and themed events during school holidays. You will also support a variety of adults/focused groups such as Art, Crafts and Reading and facilitate special events such as author talks and theatre productions.

You must be digitally aware and able to assist customers with requests for information and signposting services, as well as providing customers ‘hands on’ support to get online.

You will be responsible for promoting and contributing to all our online and social media resources and will play a part in our back-office processes and procedures which are vital for maintaining a successful library service (such as stock management and banking).

You will also help us to support our library volunteers who are part of our team and provide invaluable support to our busy service.

About You

Your style and approach will reflect our values and behaviours: you will be enthusiastic, motivated and have a strong desire to work with customers. You will also be a team player, able to work under pressure and using your own initiative. You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills plus a positive attitude. You will need to be numerate, literate, flexible and pro-active.
