Lead Academic and Research Librarian

RECRUITMENTiQ is working in partnership with a local independent school who are currently recruiting for a Lead Academic and Research Librarian.

We have a state-of-the-art library located at the heart of the School, directly by the Sixth Form Centre.

We are looking to recruit a Head Librarian to lead the team in this inspirational hub of intellectual curiosity and learning.

The Head Librarian will also be responsible for providing the students at Pipers with the skills, tools and resources they need to develop a love of reading and literature, while also improving their independent learning and, most importantly, critical thinking skills as they carry out research, exchange ideas and interact with their peers and teachers.

The successful applicant will be a degree holder, or have a similar qualification, preferably with previous experience of working in a library or in a learning resource centre within a School setting. You will be able to animate classes and groups of students of all ages, demonstrate strong IT and communication skills, and a sense of teamwork.

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and the School reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.

Closing date | Monday 3 March 2025
Interview date | Tbc
