Assistant Librarian Position
We are seeking an efficient and well-organized Assistant Librarian with strong administrative and IT skills, and excellent interpersonal qualities.
In November 2021, we opened the Woodward Building, featuring a state-of-the-art Learning Resource Centre, which includes our library, independent study zones, collaborative spaces, and the Learning Support department. The centre offers a comprehensive collection of printed and digital resources and a dedicated reading area, enhanced by the Accelerated Reader Scheme for younger students.
The role is from 12:00 pm to 5:30 pm during term time. The successful candidate will work alongside the full-time Librarian during afternoon sessions and oversee the Learning Resource Centre from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. The library operates from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm.
Teachers can book the space for classes, and lower school English classes have dedicated library time. Sixth Form students use this facility for independent study. During breaks, the space serves as a quiet area for studying and independent projects.
The library uses the Accessit management system. Full training will be provided if needed.
