Support Services Technician (Term – 14 months, full time, on-site) – March 31, 2028

Imagine working at the heart of Saskatchewan’s democratic process, where your technical library expertise doesn’t just serve an organization—it sustains a parliamentary institution. Based in the historic Legislative Building and Walter Scott Building in beautiful Wascana Park, this role offers the chance to grow, evolve, and contribute to something bigger. The Legislative Assembly Service (LAS) is dedicated to enhancing parliamentary democracy by providing impartial, non-partisan support to the Legislative Assembly.

The Legislative Library plays a vital role in this mandate by developing and maintaining the legislative and research collection, and ensuring its present and future accessibility to parliamentarians, the public service, and the people of Saskatchewan. The Library’s Support Services Branch acquires, catalogues, processes, and maintains the physical and electronic holdings of the Library and works in collaboration with Reference and Circulation teams to provide the collections and services required by the Library’s clients.
