This role isn’t your regular Library Services role. It will see you safely and effectively driving our Mobile Library Truck (semi-articulated vehicle), while also delivering library services and programs at 12 different locations on a fortnightly timetable.

• Working hours: You will work Monday through Thursday, with rosters starting between 8am and 9am and finishing between 5pm and 7pm with a half-day (8:30am – 12:30pm) on alternate Saturdays.

• You will be working from PSC Library, Raymond Terrace

The key responsibilities within this role are listed within the position description.

We’re all about putting the right people, in the right role! Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Demonstrated safe and effective operation of a prime mover and trailer, with a current Heavy Combination (HC) licence
• Demonstrated experience in a library or other customer experience environment
• A current Working with Children Check (WWCC)

• PSCare Day available to all employees to take in addition to your regular leave entitlements
