Professional and customer focused, you'll be working with colleagues at central office and across the Trust in different disciplines, sharing knowledge and offering support and administrative skills.
What it's like to work here
We're bigger than you think, we're more complicated than we appear, and we're larger scale than you'd imagine. We've got passionate people in all our teams, and we've got so much more we want to achieve.

You'll be monitoring inboxes: over time growing your skills to answer queries and triage more complex requests. You'll support the management of the work of our volunteers and assist with the opening and running of the library, issue and return of books and other library materials.
