About the role

The City of Hillsboro invites applications for a Community Librarian at Shute Park Library. This full-time role focuses on welcoming patrons, sharing information, building community connections, and developing programs that meet local needs. You will work at Shute Park Library with colleagues and partners, delivering outreach, learning opportunities, and services that empower diverse community members to engage with information and resources.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
