The role includes physical tasks such as moving stock, carrying boxes of books, pushing loaded book trolleys and spending extended periods on your feet throughout the working day. Reasonable adjustments will be considered where appropriate.

What we offer

• Annual leave entitlement equivalent to 32 days per year (pro rata for part-time hours), plus bank holidays, and the option to purchase additional leave.
• Generous Local Government Pension Scheme including life cover (three times annual salary) and an Additional Voluntary Contribution (AVC) scheme to enhance your pension provision.

• Give As You Earn scheme.
• Instant Reward Scheme to recognise and reward innovative achievement.
