The role also includes stock handling, sorting and processing, assisting with crate and stock exchanges at libraries and community locations, covering loading bay duties when required, and providing relief cover for the Mobile Library Service.
If you enjoy driving, take pride in delivering excellent service and want to make a real difference to communities across Wiltshire, we look forward to hearing from you - apply today and help keep our libraries and cultural services moving.
As a casual worker, you will have no fixed hours and will work on an as-needed basis, depending on Wiltshire Council's requirements and your availability. You are not obligated to be available, and the council is not obliged to offer you work.
