Our libraries are about so much more than books - they are places where culture is created and happens every day. You could be part of these vibrant community hubs, welcoming everyone to explore, read, learn, meet, connect, collaborate, share, adventure and be inspired!
You'll be working for our thriving Oxfordshire Library Service which has 44 libraries across the county and over 2,400,000 visitors to our libraries every year.
About the Role
Customer Service Advisers are the first point of contact with library customers and library partners.

As well as helping customers find and use resources, this role is also detail oriented and involves performing administrative and clerical duties and organising library material and information.
This is a peripatetic role, and you may be required to work at different locations or work additional hours at the primary location.
