What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking a dedicated, self-motivated and organised individual to join our support staff playing a key role in enabling and supporting our students to maximise their potential. You will oversee the library which was built within the heart of the school to recognise the importance of this facility. You will co-ordinate a team of student librarians, work closely with departments, especially English and seek to promote and enhance the offering and impact of the resources available.
You will be joining at a time of review as we work on plans to fully refurbish the library. You will contribute towards discussions around more electronic resources; more IT use for research and ways to engage our students in different media but also to retain an important love of books and the importance of traditional reading.

The successful candidate will be well educated, have experience in a library or similar setting, have excellent IT and ICT skills and be able to communicate well with students, teachers, visitors and other professional colleagues.
