The school is looking to appoint a Librarian working five days per week (full time is 40 hours per week, excluding a lunch break) in St Philip’s Library at the heart of the school, from September 2018, or sooner if possible.

Ideally, the successful candidate might have experience of school teaching, possibly being a retired teacher or someone who has taken a break from teaching. Duties include managing book stock through Eclipse, a library book management system, and assisting pupils in the selection of books. St Philip’s Library is used by sixth form pupils throughout the day for private study which means supervision of sixth form pupils and working closely with the staff responsible for them are an important part of the Librarian's duties.

Application forms should be submitted to the Procurator by email (procurator@los.ac) by 9am on Wednesday 20th June. Interviews are scheduled to take place during the week beginning 25th June.

About The London Oratory School
Trad but quirky, The London Oratory School is a mainstream, Roman Catholic, all-through school with sixth form, situated in Fulham, south-west London. Founded in 1863 by the Fathers of the Oratory, we cater for boys aged seven to eighteen and have approximately 1,330 pupils enrolled. Girls are admitted to the Sixth form.
We encourage all staff to get involved in our vibrant school life. The school is committed to developing staff and growing their skillset through CPD. We have first class facilities which all staff are encouraged to use (including free lunch, Friday cake, on-site parking, a state of the art gym and swimming pool).
The school moved to its present site in 1970. In September 1989, the voluntary-aided school became grant-maintained. A Junior House was added next to the Arts Centre in September 1996.

Vision and values
As a Catholic school, The London Oratory School upholds Canon Law and the teachings of the Catholic Church. The school aims to provide an environment that supports the spiritual, physical, moral and intellectual development of each pupil. It also strives to offers a wide range of educational, cultural and spiritual experiences, which will help each pupil reach their maximum potential.
The curriculum is broad and varied and seeks to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils. Pupils are well versed in the core subjects, which include history, science, English and maths, but the school believes physical activity is just as important. All pupils have at least two periods of sport and physical education each week. Music is also a big part of life at the school and all pupils in the first three years must study the subject.
