Job overview

Fulham Cross Academy Trust is the umbrella organisation which operates Fulham Cross Girls’ School and Fulham Cross Academy and Fulham Cross Sixth Form.
Fulham Cross Girls’ School is a vibrant, diverse inner-city school that achieves excellent outcomes for our students; we are routinely in the top 5% of schools nationally for outcomes. We are passionate about educating the whole child and go above and beyond to remove barriers to learning and to support our students to be happy, healthy and ready to take on the world!
For this full time, permanent position available from 4th January 2022, we are looking for a dynamic librarian to take responsibility for our well-equipped library. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about working with young women and have a strong desire to contribute to the cultural life of the school and our community partners.
A recognised librarian qualification is preferred but not essential – ideally we want someone passionate about our ethos who is creative, flexible and a team player. Skills and the desire to develop are more important than experience. Due to the scope for work with small groups of students, the post would also be suitable for an English Graduate who is looking to gain experience working in schools before going on to train as a teacher.
The role is varied; there is never a dull day! You will need patience and resilience but will be rewarded by seeing the students develop into confident young people taking advantage of the many opportunities we offer at our school. If you want to really make a difference in children’s lives, please apply.
Application packs are available below, via email: personnel@fulhamcollege.net or on the school website: www.fulhamcross.net
Closing date: Midday on Friday 3rd December 2021
Interview date: w/c Monday 6th December 2021
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to show they share this commitment; an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service certificate will be requested for the successful candidate in accordance with the relevant legislation.
The successful candidate will be appointed to the Trust and may be expected to work across any of our sites but currently there are no plans in this regard.

About Fulham Cross Girls' School
Fulham Cross Girls’ School is a unique school that encapsulates the very best in education for young women. A strong inclusive ethos means that all students, regardless of ability, income or faith are welcomed to our school. We celebrate the fact that the students speak 47 languages and the wealth of different cultures and values they bring.
The results that we consistently achieve are life-changing.
We recognise that our students’ best route into a successful, rich and interesting future is through education. All our staff are relentless in the pursuit of these goals, resulting in excellent GCSE results. Yet we are as far from an exam results factory as it is possible to be. Students are proud of our school and each other, students enjoy their learning very much and several commented… that they ‘love this school’. ‘Students are adamant that bullying and racism is rare and is dealt with effectively’ and another favourite: ‘A student in Year 9 wrote in her questionnaire: ‘Ours is a multicultural school. Our school accepts everyone… from any religion and culture’. ‘Students work harmoniously together in lessons. Relationships between staff and students are extremely positive. The atmosphere in lessons is calm, supportive and reflective.’
The love of the school isn’t limited to the students either. In the staff questionnaire, 100% of the staff said they are proud to be a member of this school. The parents also agree with praise including the ‘caring school and dedicated staff’. Staff turnover is low.
We believe that we have a duty to develop young women with a desire to make the world a better place and to fight for equality wherever they see inequality which is why we tie everything to our EMPOWER charter. Our strapline is ‘Empowering Tomorrow’s Women’ and we take this very seriously indeed. For example, our Tuesday morning EMPOWER breakfasts when female captains of industry come to discuss their career path over a croissant with the students. Or the much coveted EMPOWER badge that can only be awarded to students for truly exceptional acts for those who do the right thing when no one is looking. Or our EMPOWER days which involve all of our students getting out and about or hosting visitors in school. Over their time with us our students take part in 30 inspiring days to enhance their curriculum, their learning and their relationships with the staff and each other.
Our exam results are enough to make us an amazing school, but there is so much more to FCGS than a set of brilliant results. FCGS is a school with a unique environment, where everyone is valued equally and where girls are able to flourish in a supportive environment that celebrates the power of a united school standing together for what we believe in.
