Your Role and Our Commitment to You
The academy offers an exciting opportunity for a dedicated and enthusiastic person to join our team at Beacon Academy as a Learning Resource Centre Manager (Librarian). We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, innovative, and committed individual with high expectations of students and themselves. The successful candidate will be capable of inspiring students of all abilities through their passion for reading and learning.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day management of our vibrant and dynamic Learning Resource Centre, ensuring it is an open access learning area for all students. This will involve providing a professional learning resource and information support service, overseeing the organisation and management of the Library, and managing library stock, orders, and budget. You will also play a key role in promoting literacy, study, information, and retrieval skills amongst all students. The role includes managing events such as author visits and speakers to promote literacy, developing a wellbeing area within the Library, and working with the SENDCO to support SEND students. You will also be responsible for supporting library lessons and assisting users in locating information and resources.
You will work closely with Senior Leaders and relevant staff as part of a specialist team, and be well supported. Wellspring Academy Trust and Beacon Academy believe in investing in our staff. We have a strong CPD offer, and all new staff will receive a supportive induction programme. If you are driven to ensure the highest possible standards of learning support and student engagement, then we warmly invite you to apply and join our convivial team.
We are a small school and so it is possible to develop strong relationships. To support this, we are introducing a new coaching group approach for staff and students in September. Our students are enthusiastic and enjoy interactive lessons from passionate staff; they respond well to strong, trusting relationships with staff. Having recently appointed new leaders at the Academy, Beacon Academy has a renewed focus on student development, both academically and in personal growth. We are about to embark on new and innovative strategies in school, so this would be an exciting time to join the team.
