Do you have a love for literature? Do you want to be part of an outstanding and unique organisation which is passionate about literacy and reading initiatives, with a library at its heart?

We are looking for a dynamic and highly organised individual with excellent communication skills, who believes that reading and literacy should be at the centre of every school, as an essential resource for student learning and research.

The ideal candidate will have experience in organising, managing and maintaining a library on a daily basis; our librarian will need to ensure that the library provision meets the needs of all its users, developing and promoting the library and a love of reading to students and staff.
