We’re recruiting a highly motivated Information Assistant to join our friendly and professional team. This is a new role to join our existing staff team under the leadership of the Town Clerk.
Ryde Information and Support Service (RISS) is a new project. Its purpose is to extend and support existing information, advice and support services in the library by assisting residents to access available information and undertake tasks such as benefit applications. Particular emphasis will be put on assisting them to access information and services via the internet.
It is a pilot project, designed to establish the need for this type of support and determine the best way of providing and funding it. Ryde Town Council has agreed to fund two positions, that of a Manager and an Information Assistant, for an initial six month period, with possible extension. During this period, additional funding will be sought from various funders, including Ryde Town Council if necessary.
The successful candidate should have a commitment to the values of the Town Council and want to play an integral part in developing a successful future for Ryde and its residents.
