      This is a dual role splitting time between a customer-facing librarian role, and a role as a development team officer.The librarian role involves day-to-day library tasks, e.g. shelving, assisting and interacting with customers, library upkeep, etc. It is a largely team-based role requiring good interpersonal communication, and the ability to step up into a managerial role in the absence of a duty manager.My first development role was with the Project, Innovation, Design, and Delivery team (PIDD), which involved working on projects such as income data breakdown, presentation, and feedback to branch staff, introduction of new stationary stock lines, communication of new initiatives to branch staff, etc.My current development role is with the Community Connections team, which involves working on projects with a focus on community outreach and customer engagement, e.g. Summer Reading Challenge, Children’s Book Awards, Library Direct service, etc. I have taken over responsibility for managing the Community Connections social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, and I am currently responsible for writing copy for many of the library service’s newsletters, and am familiar with a number of style guides.Both roles often involve working remotely, requiring good telephone and email communications, as well as timekeeping, organisation, and the ability to prioritise project work.
