The full-timeequivalent salary is £21,103.Once upon a time (yep, we are doing this), there lived a group of books who wanted nothing more than for their stories to be read.Before long, the books realised there was in fact more than just the stories within their covers to be shared. There was a whole other world of electronic information to be explored, computer coding to be taught, and Minecraft sessions to be hosted.With so much to be offered to the community, the books quickly determined they could only do so by enlisting the help of a dedicated Library Assistant, someone with the flexibility to provide help and advice to library users at different times and from differentlocations.Before embarking on their search for this person, the books carefully thought about who it was that they were looking for. They knew an enthusiasm for reading was a given, but it became clear that this Library Assistant would also need a positive attitudeand the resilience to deal with diverse requests.Once found, this Library Assistant would need to use their creativity and initiative to reach out to people across the land of Surrey. What was certain is that there would always be others to learn from along the way, to share ideas with and create a Library(a warm space, a place to explore, discover and learn) where everyone feels welcome and is treated with fairness and respect.The end Well not quite...Now, to help us finish this story and ensure it has a happy ending, we need you! If you want to audition to be the main protagonist, and believe you have what it takes, we really want to hear from you!The library service is so much more than stacking shelves and processing fines (ok its a little bit of this but not only this!).
