Taitara Mahi - Library Assistant
Permanent Part-Time
Across our Hastings, Flaxmere and Havelock North Libraries, Hastings District Libraries are centres for lifelong learning and recreation. Our libraries aren't what they used to be - they're vibrant, noisy spaces where we have Nerf Wars, screaming kids and visitors from all parts of our community. These spaces can be tough, but the moments when visitors enjoy themselves or learn something new make it worth it. We offer a wealth of resources and are safe, welcoming and vibrant community spaces. To support these, we are currently looking for a part-time Library Assistant.
This part-time role offers 24 hours per week with set shifts on Thursday to Saturday and Monday:
Thursday: 12.30pm – 7.00pm
Friday: 11.00am – 5.30pm
Saturday: 9.30am – 4.00pm
Monday: 11.00am – 5.30pm
Ōu wheako – about you
To be successful in this role, you will:
Have an understanding of the role of Libraries in our Communities.
Be able to engage with people from all walks of life, show empathy and be aware of the challenges people face in modern society.
Be flexible and able to accept change.
Be confident when assisting customers.
Have an understanding of tech systems, able to help our customers where they may need support.
Enjoy working in different environments - and be able to travel between our three library sites.
Situated in the heart of Ngāti Kahungunu, the Hastings district and Hawke’s Bay offer an enjoyable environment in which to live, work and play. We are an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity. Are you keen to be a part of our journey?
