We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and positive Library Assistant to join our team working in our busy, vibrant but academic school learning environment. You will be part of a team providing Library services to students and teaching staff, operating library systems, supporting students and staff with finding resources, overseeing overdues, shelving, cataloguing resources and supporting time-tabled literacy classes.

The successful applicant will have a passion for literature and excellent communication, literacy and IT skills. Experience of working in a school setting would be an advantage though not essential.

The library is an academic hub of the school and is dynamic, bright and friendly. It is very well used with over 1500 pupils of all ages using it per week for a variety of reasons, from reading, research, private study and book clubs. Literacy is timetabled in the library by the English Department, promoting the importance of reading to the whole curriculum and of course not least, the love of reading.
