The Role
The Corsham School Academy Group seeks to appoint a dedicated and enthusiastic Learning Resources Centre Manager to join our vibrant school community. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about fostering a love of reading and learning in young people, and who enjoys working in a dynamic educational environment.
As our Learning Resources Centre Manager, you will play a key role in managing the day-to-day running of the library, supporting pupils and staff, promoting literacy across the school, and helping to create an inclusive and inspiring space for reading, research, and reflection.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Oversee the organisation and maintenance of library resources.
2. Support pupils in developing independent learning and research skills.
3. Promote reading for pleasure through engaging displays, events, and initiatives.
4. Collaborate with teaching staff to support curriculum delivery.
5. Maintain library systems and records efficiently.
Person Specification:
6. Excellent organisational and communication skills.
7. A genuine interest in children's literature and education.
8. Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
9. Confidence in using IT systems and library management software (training provided).
Experience: Previous experience working in a school library setting is desirable but not essential. We welcome applications from individuals with a passion for literacy, organisation, and supporting young learners. Full training will be provided, so please don’t let a lack of direct school library experience deter you from applying — we’re looking for the right person, not just the right CV.
If you are excited by the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a school environment and help nurture a lifelong love of reading, we would love to hear from you.
Potential candidates for this role are warmly invited to visit the school, please contact Samantha Pritchard.
