Librarian and Learning Resource Centre Administrator

This is an exciting role, which puts you in the heart of our teaching and learning. The successful candidate will benefit from the rewards of engaging with our students daily and enhancing their learning experience. We want to make our Learning Resource Centre the hub of our school, creating a place that encourages all students to use the facilities for research, reading for leisure and extra-curricular activities. Working with our Curriculum Leader of English, and the rest of the team, you will have the opportunity to be creative, in order to bring our resource centre to life whilst supporting the school to deliver inspirational and motivating events i.e. World Book Day, World Poetry Day and Author Visits. You will be required to assist students to explore the information available to them and support whole school reading programs, which will develop and engage them further in their studies. This will include running a Homework Club for students to access after-school until 16:30. The role will also involve the supervising of Sixth Form students during some of their timetabled study periods and working with the Sixth Form Team to ensure that standards are maintained and support is available for the students during this time.
