Christchurch, New Zealand LGJobs Full time

**_About the role_**

We have two exciting opportunities to join our Arts, Culture and Lifelong Learning team (ACLL), where you will contribute to a network of welcoming, professional, and responsive library and service centres. Both roles are predominately based at the Lincoln Library/Service Centre. As a front facing member of our team, you will work with people, books, technology, online resources, events, and programmes. You will build rapport and actively promote our wide range of resources, supporting our community with lifelong learning and discovery.

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.

There are two positions available, both 22hours a week, worked as follows:

- Position 1 - Thursday and Friday: 8.30am - 5pm and Saturday: 9.45am - 4.15pm
- Position 2 - Thursday: 11.45am - 8.15pm, Friday: 9.45am - 6.15pm and Saturday: 9.45am - 4.15pm

**_ About you_**

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. You will be a confident communicator with cultural competency. Making everyone welcome no matter their age or reason for being in our spaces will be something that you really enjoy. 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 and the importance they play in our communities.

**What we can offer**:

- Great work-life balance with flexibility
- Career coaching and development
- Life insurance
- Wellbeing and volunteer leave
- Three days paid leave between Christmas and New Year
- Two weeks paid Partners Leave
- Sick leave from day one
- Continued KiwiSaver contributions during savings suspension
- 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**
