Full job description

GLL is looking for a Library Manager to work at HMP The Mount (36 hours a week). As a Library Manager you will be working in an onsite library giving access to a wide variety of collections and resources including books, computers and reference materials to both prisoners and staff. HM Prison The Mount is a category C training prison near Bovingdon in Hertfordshire, England. The prison is operated by His Majesty's Prison Service. The prison houses around 1000 prisoners.

Prisoners use our libraries for a number of reasons. We have a vast selection of legal books and papers that our prisoners use to help them understand their sentences as well as the standard books that you’d find in a public library. We have a heavy focus on education as many of the prisoners have literacy problems or just want to learn something new such as a second language, but whatever the reason, the books are a welcome diversion from prison life.

As a Library manager you will be required to work 36 hrs per week Monday-Friday and will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the library and managing a small team of Library Assistants. As a manager you will have to do the usual tasks associated with the role, such as providing an information service to our users, ordering books and arranging engaging events and activities, but due to the unique location of the library, there is far more to this role than expected. As we place an emphasis on education, we’re inspected and regulated by Ofsted, so there will be a lot of administration involved to help us to review and maintain our standards.

Although challenging, this is a highly-rewarding role where you’ll get to see the prisoners change and grow from the services and support that you’d provide alongside other departments such as Education and Resettlement. This isn’t a role for the timid, as you’ll need to maintain control and gravitas at all times as well as being vigilant. A can-do attitude is a must, as is common sense, as you’ll do everything from assessing the suitability of the books that the prisoners request, to ensuring that all doors are locked behind you whenever you move about the building as well as some heavy lifting.

In this role, you’ll adapt to, and acknowledge, the diversity of our customers and their requirements. You will be visiting prisoners of all ages and backgrounds on their housing units. The job involves lone working or working alongside security cleared prisoners to deliver library services.

What you’ll do:

Work as part of the team to ensure the smooth operation of the libraries
Provide welcoming and genuine goodbye to all prisoners, providing guidance and support on how to get the optimum results from their visit by truly engaging with prisoners to understand the reason behind their visit
Devise and Create imaginative events and activities
Follow all Normal & Emergency Operating Procedures as well as adhering to relevant polices and manuals
Interact with prisoners through conversations and supporting their needs
Support prisoners with all queries available at the library
Fully participate in and engage in the any training provided.

What you need:

Excellent Customer service skills
Evidence of making a difference to customers
Strong people management and leadership skills
Confident IT skills and knowledge
Excellent numeracy, literacy and communication skills
Evidence of being organised and efficient
Administrative skills
A passion for libraries and community engagement
The ability to work alone
Be a great team player
Ability to manage a budget

As a charitable social enterprise owned by its staff GLL has a great range of benefits for its employees:

A salary of £28,739.14 per annum (based on 36 hours a week)
A values driven organisation
Learning & development to support career development
Good pension schemes
Discounted gym membership for you and your partner
A permanent position of 36 hours per week
The opportunity to join the GLL Society and have a say on how we are run, plus get invited to associated events
Exclusive discounts on our villas in Portugal
Exclusive discounts on our ski chalets in Bulgaria
Career pathways, professional development is just the start. To ensure your stay on top of your game we provide training with practical and theory elements too
Discounts across thousands of retailers (GLL Extras)
25% off Red Letter Days
25% off Buy a Gift
20% off GLL spa experience treatments and associated products
Ride to work scheme
Free eye tests and discounted glasses
