We think libraries are great places to work, where you can make a difference to local communities every day. Find out more about the variety that comes with working in a library and hear first-hand from some of our library staff.

Find out about the different types of roles available in libraries, and what qualifications and experience are required.

All library vacancies are applied for through the West Sussex County Council job site by filling in an application form. We know it can be difficult to know what things you need to include and how best to fill in the form, so we’ve drawn together some hints and tips to help you.

We’ll provide you with a tailored induction programme when you come to work for us, along with opportunities to develop your skills, including support for professional library qualifications.

If you would like to get some relevant experience to help you with your application, why not have a look at our volunteering opportunities?
