Librarian – North Manchester

We are specifically working with a ‘Good’ secondary school in North Manchester as a librarian, on an ongoing basis, likely to be for the full academic year on a full-time basis. This role will be term time plus an additional 5 days.

The library is the heart of our school community. It’s a place where students can explore, discover, and grow intellectually. The school library is a vibrant hub where students engage in research, independent study, and creative projects. As a Library Officer, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of the school library. You will work closely with students, teachers, and other staff members to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for learning and exploration.

This is a brilliant chance to get involved in a school that puts the students first with a warm, happy, and safe environment. The staff and students have a sense of pride in their diverse culture and celebrate this with a culture day, which focuses on the different backgrounds that make their community better. The students take on extra responsibility demonstrating their maturity. This includes school council, being a prefect or a librarian. The school also has a strong community spirit with a ‘community fridge’, which connects them with the wider area. The leaders of the school constantly raise their expectations of students which has created an improvement across the school. The school also supports its staff in all aspects with CPD to make sure they are always developing.
