Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
We currently have the following positions available, commencing Term 3, 2026:
* 1 x – 3‐month fixed term, part‐time (0.6 FTE) position with possible extension and/or permanency
Riverside PS is a Level 5 school with approximately 480 students enrolled in Kindergarten to Year 6. Riverside draws from a wide boundary catchment area and serves families from diverse social and economic backgrounds, creating challenges related to transiency and cultural diversity.
The Role
As a Library Officer you will be responsible for the day‐to‐day operations of the library, provision of reference information, and maintaining the environment and associated services of the school library to support the learning outcomes of students. You will also administer the library systems, ensuring records are up to date and resources are maintained and processed so they are always accessible to students and staff.
Library Officers should have outstanding customer‐service skills to support the school community, leadership team, and staff. You will work in partnership with staff to create a welcoming and vibrant library environment for students and families. A love of books and a sound understanding of library systems, processes, and stocktakes are highly desirable.
The suitable applicants will ideally:
* Support students and staff in locating and selecting age‐appropriate and curriculum‐aligned resources.
* Deliver library skills sessions and display the effective use of library equipment and technologies.
* Coordinate library visit schedules and supervise small groups of students as required.
* Prepare and monitor the library budget, including purchasing resources and relevant licences.
* Provide technical advice regarding library information systems.
* Supervise and support library staff and/or volunteers, including rostering in line with Departmental policy.
* Contribute to maintaining an organised, welcoming and contemporary learning environment.
* Work collaboratively within a shared library setting that supports both Riverside PS and the ESC community.
The suitable applicants will ideally display strong organisational and interpersonal skills, sound knowledge of library systems and processes, and the ability to manage budgets and resources effectively. Experience supporting information technology (IT) systems within a school environment would be highly regarded, and knowledge of the Oliver library management system is highly desirable.
