Hear From Our Employees

What skills and attributes do you think successful Ku-ring-gai employees share?
You need to be a community focussed person, someone who is people-oriented. If you’re willing to learn and develop different skills, then you actually learn a lot about what you’re interested in – Lily Giles, Youth Services Officer

What do you find the most enjoyable about your role?
I find the inter-related issues we get at Ku-ring-gai really interesting; environmental, ecological, heritage. And I love the fact that you’re learning new things every day with the decisions that are made. It’s a changing field and the legal interpretations are complex; I find that so exciting – Amy Ayling, Team Leader Development Assessment

What would you say to someone considering a career in Ku-ring- gai libraries?
I think councils and public libraries are quite often seen as very old fashioned and stuck in their ways. But that couldn’t be further from the truth – it’s such a dynamic place! If you get a kick out of making a difference in someone’s life, then council is a great place to work. And working in councils could suit anyone because there’s just so many different types of work, so I’d totally recommend it! – Michelle Swan-Beardmore, Manager Library Services.
