About Haringey
Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.
Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.
About The Role
As a Library Information Officer, you will play a vital role in delivering a high-quality, customer-focused library service that supports learning, research and community engagement. You’ll be responsible for helping users access information in a variety of formats, supporting enquiries, promoting digital resources, and ensuring library spaces are welcoming, well-organised and inclusive. The role involves a mix of frontline service delivery, administrative tasks, and support for library resources and systems, requiring strong organisational skills and a genuine passion for information services.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About The Team
You’ll join a dedicated and supportive library team committed to providing an accessible, modern and responsive service. The team works closely together to support a diverse range of users, sharing knowledge and ideas to improve services and adapt to changing needs. Collaboration, flexibility and a strong customer-service ethos are central to how the team operates, and you’ll be encouraged to contribute your ideas and skills to help shape and develop the library offer.
About You
You’ll be enthusiastic, approachable and confident in working with a wide range of people. You’ll enjoy helping others, be comfortable using digital systems, and have good communication and organisational skills. Experience in a library, information, customer service or education setting would be an advantage, but what matters most is your willingness to learn, adapt and take pride in delivering an excellent service. If you’re organised, proactive and passionate about supporting access to information and learning, we’d love to hear from you.
