School Librarian and Resources Manager

We are

seeking a dedicated, self-motivated and organised individual to join our support

staff playing a key role in enabling and supporting our students to maximise

their potential. You will oversee the library which was built within the heart

of the school to recognise the importance of this facility. You will

co-ordinate a team of student librarians, work closely with departments,

especially English and seek to promote and enhance the offering and impact of

the resources available.

You

will be joining at a time of review as we work on plans to fully refurbish the

library. You will contribute towards discussions around more electronic resources;

more IT use for research and ways to engage our students in different media but

also to retain an important love of books and the importance of traditional

reading. Your role would extend outside the library and across all curriculum

areas, seeking to support with literacy but also to enhance teaching and

learning.

The

successful candidate will be well educated, have experience in a library or

similar setting, have excellent IT and ICT skills and be able to communicate

well with students, teachers, visitors and other professional colleagues.

Library qualifications and sector recognition would enhance your application.
