We require a Temporary Library Assistant from 17 March 2025 – 4 July 2025.
Detail
To assist the Acting Senior School Librarian in the day-to-day running of the library, including managing stock and circulation and supervising and registering pupils using the library. The Library Assistant will also be in sole charge of the library on two days when the Librarian is not in. Overall the Library Assistant will help provide a high standard of service to meet the needs of all pupils and staff.
The Senior School Library is central to school life and located at the heart of the main building. The library’s aims are to foster literacy, independent learning and a love of reading in all pupils, as well as to support teaching and learning across and beyond the curriculum.
The library is open from 8.00 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Monday - Thursday and from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. on Fridays.
Pupils in Years 7 and 10 have a course of 4-5 weekly library lessons, in which they are taught how to use the library and are given time to read and browse the collection. The library also delivers library inductions and research skills sessions tailored to specific subjects, the (Extended) Project Qualification in Years 10 and 13 and in other contexts where staff request it.
The library is also used during lesson time by pupils in Years 7-11 who have dropped subjects and pupils who have been excused from PE.
