Your hours of work will be 37 per week, Monday to Friday, term time plus 5 days, subject to service requirements.

Recently installed at a cost of £75k, with state of the art library furnishings and inspirational forest decor, latest ICT management systems and equipment including i-pads, desk tops and laptop computing resources, the HUB is literally a sanctuary of learning – a place staff and students value highly and use to the full on a daily basis – both during and after the school day.

We are looking for someone with a passion for literature and for research and learning who wants to inspire this in young people – both through our existing facilities and processes and through innovation. You will need to be highly experienced in a similar environment of learning resource management, well organised and have excellent communication and inter-personal skills. Most of all you should be passionate about learning and engaging students here to enable them to grasp every opportunity to achieve.
