We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Librarian who is passionate about reading and has the ability to inspire and motivate students to want to read. The successful candidate will be able to maintain the high standards within our Library, creating a professional and welcoming atmosphere. The post holder will liaise with staff to help improve levels of literacy and organise in-school events to promote reading.

The Partnership seeks to ensure that high quality collaboration and system leadership continue to improve the education in our schools. We are responsible for the good governance of the schools within our Trust and are accountable for the performance of each school. We work with an exceptional team of leaders, teachers and support staff whose combined efforts deliver on our promise to believe in every child.
