We are seeking to appoint two organised and enthusiastic Assistant Librarians to join our respected library team. One of these roles will be predominantly based at our Tunbridge Wells campus and the other will be predominantly based at our Sevenoaks campus.
Purpose of the role
The role of the Assistant Librarian is to help the Head Librarian support the learning of students in the context of the library across the whole school. You will help to ensure that the library is at the heart of school life and be a beacon for the importance of reading within the school.
You would be responsible for the issuing and return of library stock and supervising students, whilst ensuring a quiet, well-regulated academic environment conducive to study throughout the school day. You should have good communication, interpersonal and customer relation skills along with a flexible approach to your work and the ability to work on your own initiative.
You may be required occasionally to work at either campus for library events (day and evening), open days/evenings, training, inset days and cover for library staff absence.
The library is an academic hub of the school and is dynamic, bright and friendly. It is very well used with over 1000 pupils from KS3, KS4 and KS5 of all ages using it per week for a variety of reasons, from reading, research, private study and book clubs.
