Senior Library Assistant
Offaly County Council Library Service currently headquartered in Tullamore manages and supports a network of eight public libraries strategically located across the county. The Library Service is constantly innovating and diversifying in a dynamic and changing environment, taking advantage of technological advancement to deliver a wide and varied range of front-line services to customers. In 2023, a new national five-year strategy was introduced – ‘The Library is the Place: Information, Recreation, Inspiration’. The strategy continues to build on the technological and service innovations of recent years and focuses on improving access, use and visibility of public libraries as an essential community service. It proposes new actions on lifelong learning, cultural heritage, digital inclusion and makes a clear contribution to sustainable development and climate action, with actions designed to help Ireland achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Modern libraries reflect the different ways people use them and the successful implementation of “My Open Library” services in Banagher, Ferbane, Kilcormac and Tullamore libraries allows self-service access to library members outside normal working hours. This ensures Offaly’s libraries are more accessible for commuters, workers and students and attract a broader range of customers. Offaly County Council is seeking a dynamic, creative and motivated individual to fill the role of Senior Library Assistant. This person will assist in fulfilling our vision to ‘provide welcoming and accessible spaces and services to support the people of Offaly in their pursuit of knowledge, culture, skills and recreation’. The successful candidate will work to a high standard as part of a multidisciplinary team implementing work programmes to achieve objectives as set out in relevant national and local policy including Creating Space, Offaly Libraries Development Plan 2024-2028. The Senior Library Assistant is a supervisory position employed in Library Headquarters or any library facility or branch across Offaly. He/she will report to a senior library staff member and will perform a role in almost all areas of library service. The job profile is likely to evolve as the service adapts to meet the changing needs of the community.

Our core purpose is “Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day”. Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of, and for the planet.

Tesco is the single largest buyer of Irish food and drink in the world, buying €1.6 Billion a year; more than any other single country in the European Union, more than even the USA which you perceive as a massive buyer of Irish food.
