Library Assistant

**School Library at St Bede’s**

We are seeking a library assistant to join our library team from March 2024, on a part-time, fixed-term basis until August 2025.
- Wednesday - 09:00-15:00
- Thursday - 08.30-15:00

There will be a 30 minute unpaid lunch break each day.

We anticipate that there may be additional hours available in the new academic year.

The library at St Bede’s School is a large, bright and comfortable space at the heart of the school and we are proud to have an extensive collection of books, periodicals and other resources. The library is open all day, every day and is a very busy space where students from year 7 through to sixth form can read, complete homework or study and where teachers bring classes for research or reading lessons. There are computer facilities and printing facilities available for students and we use an online library management system and OPAC.

We run several lunchtime book clubs and activities to encourage students to use the library and our resources and have an active team of student library helpers who assist us day to day in keeping the library tidy and running smoothly. We are also active in promoting reading for pleasure.

**Please note, interviews will be held on Friday 23 February 2024.**

**Why work for us?**
- St Bede's is a good place to work. Staff are friendly and supportive of one another: relationships between staff and pupils were recognised by Ofsted as 'exceptionally strong'.
- ECTs benefit from a well developed and comprehensive induction period programme. More experienced teachers are given the opportunity to participate in training which will help them to develop skills needed for middle and senior management roles.
- There are good on-site catering facilities. Staff are able to use the fitness facilities free of charge and to participate in sports activities.
- Music is a big part of school life and staff are welcome to join our senior choir and instrumental groups.
- We have a social event at the end of each term as well as occasional staff trips to the theatre.
- The school is situated in Redhill, a commuter belt town in the Surrey Fringe area. We are close to the M25 and there are good transport links to London and the South Coast from Redhill station which is about 15 minutes walk from the school. We also benefit from being within walking distance of beautiful countryside. Many staff live locally, others commute from Guildford, South London, Kent and East & West Sussex.
