VACANCIES

Hanwell Community Library (HCL) is part of a network of libraries which used to be run by Ealing Council. It is supported by a wonderful team of volunteers under the direction of our paid volunteer manager. Our historic Carnegie building is located in the centre of Hanwell, close to the Elizabeth Line and other transport routes.

Our library services are now firmly established and working well. Our next step is for the Library to be develop as a thriving centre for literature, arts and technology, and become a community hub where local people will find information, and advice and interesting activities to enjoy. The job will involve supporting and leading a team of HCL Volunteers and working closely with the local community and partner organisations to ensure that HCL maintains and develops a range of activities and services which fully use the potential of a fantastic Carnegie building, and which are rooted in the needs of local people. Co-located within the building is Ealing Law Centre, HCL’s parent organisation.

We are looking for someone exceptional who can help turn this vision into a reality and head up the next stage of development of Hanwell Community Library (HCL).

The ideal candidate must have:

  • the ability to think creatively and solve problems
  • networking and communication skills which enable you to build strong working relationships with volunteers, partners, the wider community and potential
  • funders and raise the profile of the community library
  • good organising abilities – both in terms of managing your own time, and in maintaining a rota of volunteers which ensures that all the Library’s services are properly resourced
  • information gathering and presentation skills.
  • a commitment to the role of libraries in meeting local needs.

This is an exciting period for HCL and you will be help shape HCL, develop your skills and experience at the same time.

You will be employed by Ealing Law Centre (ELC): which is responsible for delivering Hanwell Community Library. ELC is a well-established local charity at the heart of Ealing’s advice community providing free, high quality legal advice and representation to Ealing residents; in 2018, we got an award for best non-profit legal aid provider in the country.
