Achieve Something Great
Step into a role where your skills make a real difference in the moments that matter. Our busy hospital library is looking for a part‑time temporary Library Technician who's ready to support clinicians on the front lines by connecting them with the information they rely on every day. You'll assist staff across the hospital with technical, informational, and directional needs; manage circulation duties; organise and distribute journals; and contribute to creative promotional displays that keep our services thriving. Working side‑by‑side with the Library Manager and a dedicated Library Technician, you'll become an essential part of a coordinated service that empowers the entire Bankstown‑Lidcombe Hospital community.
Are You the Right Fit?
We're searching for a Library Technician who brings skill, focus, and initiative to every task. If you hold a TAFE Diploma, have a sharp eye for detail, and enjoy working independently, you may be exactly who we need.

Availability on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Wednesday afternoons is essential, along with a little flexibility to keep our service running smoothly. If you thrive in an organised, service‑driven environment, this opportunity could be a strong match for your strengths.
