We are looking to appoint an Assistant Librarian. The successful applicant will work closely with the Library Manager with all aspects of running the school library, providing a welcoming, organised and safe learning environment for the whole school community.

As Assistant Librarian you will help develop student reading motivation and culture, use of information and digital literacy and encourage independent learning. You will deputise for the Library Manager and be the sole supervisor on a designated day of the week.

On occasion the role may require extra hours, but this will be by prior arrangement with the Library Manager; therefore, the successful applicant needs to have a flexible approach.

The school has over 1200 students on roll including 200 in the Sixth Form, and is situated in a pleasant semi-rural setting south west of Reading.
