Librarian job summary

The Librarian is responsible for the day-to-day management, development and promotion of the school library, ensuring it is a welcoming, well-organised and purposeful space that supports teaching and learning. Working closely with the Head of English and wider staff, the postholder will champion reading for pleasure, support curriculum delivery, and help students develop the research, information and study skills they need to thrive.

In addition to traditional library responsibilities, this role includes a significant and rewarding focus on literacy and reading intervention. The Librarian will deliver targeted support for students who are behind age-related expectations in reading, including small-group and one-to-one interventions. This may include phonics-based support, fluency practice, guided reading and structured reading programmes, delivered in line with evidence-based and DfE-approved approaches.

The postholder will work collaboratively with the Head of English, SENCo and literacy leads to identify students, track progress, and ensure interventions are well planned, consistent and impactful.

The successful candidate will be passionate about reading and committed to improving outcomes for the school’s weakest and most reluctant readers. They will contribute to a whole school culture where reading is prioritised, inclusive and accessible to all, particularly students with additional needs or barriers to literacy. This is a varied and influential role for someone who enjoys working directly with young people, values collaboration, and wants to make a tangible difference to students’ confidence, skills and enjoyment of reading.
