Detail

We are seeking to appoint a confident, caring and organised individual with a passion for inspiring a love of reading in young people, to join our Library team in the Senior School. The successful candidate will support with the day-to-day operation of the library, ensuring that it provides a quality learning environment for our students in the Senior School. Previous library experience would be advantageous but not essential. The ability to communicate effectively with students, staff and visitors is essential as is the ability to use digital library systems.

Candidates must have a willingness to play a full part in the extra-curricular life of the College and be in sympathy with its Catholic ethos. In return we offer an attractive salary and benefits package including generous fee remission for the children of staff educated at the college, free lunches and car parking, use of the Fitness Suite and access to an online employee benefits hub including discounted gift cards, cycle to work and tech schemes.

St Columba’s College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All post holders will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the role, including reference checks with past employers, online background checks, and the Disclosure & Barring Service.
