At The Kingsbrook School we’re looking to appoint a highly motivated Librarian and Careers Administrator who is passionate about the reading of our exceptional students and be able to offer advice and support to students and staff to support learning across the school.

Opened in September 2022 to 180 year 7 students, the school will grow by each year of entry until full in 2027-28, and so new members of the team are required to support our next cohort. Located at the heart of the Kingsbrook Estate in Aylesbury, the school boasts state of the art facilities across the mainstream school and a purpose-built Inclusion Unit for children with additional Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

You will be able to manage, operate, and develop the library as a learning environment, use your professional knowledge and skills to initiate new projects, manage change, and monitor outcomes, whilst engaging with students and staff at all levels.

As part of the Careers Administrator part of the role, you will be responsible for leading the planning, implementation and delivery of a strategy for developing a careers programme for the school that meets all eight of the Gatsby benchmarks of good practice and prepares young people for the choices and transitions in education, training and employment.

For any enquiries relating to the position please contact the Trust’s Human Resources Team, either by email recruitment@insignis.org.uk or by telephone 01296 744351, who will be happy to help.
