Dulwich Prep London is seeking to appoint a creative and organised individual to take an active lead in managing, developing and promoting the School library, in addition to its day to day administration.
The successful candidate will work closely with teachers from all sections of the School to ensure the library supports the delivery of the curriculum and to help pupils make effective use of the library’s resources. They will also organise school-wide reading events, run library lessons, manage the library budget and contribute to the caring, purposeful and stimulating environment of our School.
We are looking for someone with previous experience of working in a library and who can demonstrate excellent communication and proofreading skills.

This role is to work 36 weeks per year, inclusive of all School term time weeks and INSET days.
