Job description

Tormead School is an academically selective independent school for 800 girls aged 4–18, located in central Guildford.

After 19 years of dedicated service, our current Librarian is retiring, and we are looking to find a successor who shares the same passion and enthusiasm for reading and commitment to providing an inspiring learning environment for the pupils. This is an exciting opportunity to join our vibrant school community and take on a key role, ensuring that the high standard of our Library continues to thrive.

The postholder will oversee the development and management of the Library. Through the organising of engaging events and exciting activities that celebrate literature, the successful candidate will promote the love of reading and research (including digital) across the Senior and Prep School.

The postholder is responsible for maintaining our excellent and up to date collection of books, journals and online resources to meet the curricular, co-curricular and reading needs of the pupils and staff.

In return, we offer a friendly and inclusive working environment. Our benefits package includes a competitive salary, professional development opportunities, free lunches and free use of the school gym.

The closing date for applications is Tuesday 22 April 2025 at 9.00am. However, applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, and the School reserves the right to make an appointment prior to the closing date should the ideal candidate(s) be identified.

Tormead School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and an enhanced DBS check.
