Job description

RCT Libraries are looking to recruit enthusiastic individuals to the role of Casual Library Assistant.

The successful applicant will assist in the day-to-day operation of a branch library. Responsibilities include supporting services and special events to promote library use, and working at other Rhondda Cynon Taf Libraries on short notice.

Duties include executing general library procedures, helping clients utilize library resources effectively, and providing advice and assistance.

Please note, Casual Library Assistants must be able to work across all library locations in Rhondda Cynon Taf and be available for work at short notice from Monday to Saturday.

Protecting children and vulnerable adults is a core responsibility of all staff. The successful applicant will also undergo an enhanced disclosure and barring service check.

The Council values diversity and is committed to non-discrimination in recruitment based on age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, transgender status, religion, belief, pregnancy, or maternity. We support various staff networks including the Allies Network, Disability and Carers Network, and Perthyn LGBTQ+ Network.

An application in Welsh will not be treated less favorably than one in English. The Council offers a guaranteed interview scheme for Welsh speakers of Level 3 and above, who meet the essential criteria and choose to participate.

Due to high application volumes, individual acknowledgments are not sent. If you do not hear within four weeks of the closing date, your application is likely unsuccessful. We thank you for your interest.

In support of the Armed Forces, applicants who are members, veterans, or reservists and meet the criteria will be offered an interview.
