The Southwark skyline is an impressive sight. The incredibly diverse range of buildings, offices and social facilities make it a real mix of old and new.

With its vibrant, energetic feel, Southwark is a very attractive place to work if you relish the challenges of a dynamic and inner city context where complexity, change and energy are high.

A modern library is about more than lending books. It is a hub for the community, giving everyone access to lifelong learning, IT support and community engagement.

For those of us working in Southwark’s libraries, it is about providing a service that is as vibrant, diverse and interesting as the area we live in.

As the public face of our library, you will be there to ensure we deliver a high level of customer care while playing a key role in providing an efficient and effective service.

Flexible and adaptable, you will assist in providing book and audio loan services, assist the public with IT and general enquiries and also with children and adult events.

We are looking for people with great communication skills and a high standard of customer care to a diverse community and work well in a team.

You will have good understanding of basic computing and word processing, web browsing and an enthusiasm for libraries, promoting literature for all ages.
