Library Caretaker/Attendant is one of the key frontline roles in the library service, working as a member of the library team in a library service point to deliver a safe, friendly, efficient library service to the public. Key responsibilities include securing and opening the library building, ensuring the library can be enjoyed both by customers and staff, and ensuring that facilities and outside areas are well presented. The duties of the Library Caretaker/Attendant shall be consistent with the provision of a modern public library service that includes a My Open Library facility, that is responsive to the changing requirements of customers of all ages and abilities.

Library services are provided over a six-day week and shift work is required in line with public opening hours, including a minimum of two late evenings, every Saturday and weekends. The duties of a library caretaker/attendant are varied and can involve assignment to different libraries as well as relief duties across the library network.   

As the Library Service is a county-wide service, staff may be required to provide cover at, and may be reassigned to, any service point within County Offaly as required by the County Librarian.
