We are looking to recruit 2x Customer Support Assistants on permanent relief contracts to help us run the service during periods of annual leave, sickness or any other circumstances where we may need a customer support assistant at short notice - some weekend working may be required. The posts will be based within the Dartford Library district. To deliver all this, we need the right people serving our customers. Prior library experience isn't essential - it's much more important that you're friendly, outgoing and approachable. If you enjoy working as part of a team and are passionate about delivering great customer service to the local community, we would love to hear from you. Ideal candidates will have excellent interpersonal skills, feel comfortable meeting and engaging with the public and be able to undertake a diverse range of tasks. If you have a positive outlook and good personal resilience, then this could the role for you.

Work that works for you and us - let's talk flexibility! KCC is committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the county's working residents, encouraging applications from people of all ages, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, ethnic backgrounds, faiths and those with caring responsibilities, and aspires to create an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves at work.
