We are looking for a Learning Resources Assistant – Library to join the team at Seaton Valley Federation of Schools.
You will enjoy working in a busy library environment, with fresh challenges on a daily basis. You will be helping students find and use resources and assist colleagues set texts for the curriculum. The role will see you deal with a variety of teachers and support staff across our schools, as well as students as they come in to use the facilities and our sixth form who have daily independent study sessions in the library. Each Year 9 student has a one hour library lesson per fortnight, led by their English teacher but supported by library staff. Students use the library facility for Independent Study Sessions, so experience in a Cover Supervisor role or some behaviour management would be essential.
You will mainly be based within the library at the site for Astley Community High School and Whytrig Middle School. We will be moving into a new building in September 2025, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to be fully involved in the set up of the new library provision. There may also be a need to make visits to the library at Seaton Sluice Middle School as well.
You should have experience of working in a library environment and be able to think on your feet to meet the daily challenges. You will be willing to get involved in all aspects of school life, students asking for advice on UCAS applications and CVs, and extracurricular activities.
The working hours of the post are 37 hours per week Monday to Friday 8.30am to 4.30pm with a 30 minute lunch break. The role is term time plus 5 days during the school holidays.
You will be line managed by the Business Manager – Data and Curriculum Support and be an integral part of the team.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
