Library and Literacy Mentor (Maternity Cover)

At Alperton Community School we know that reading is a vital skill for life. Literacy shapes futures and creates opportunities and we are determined for every one of our students to be an enthusiastic reader. If you love working with young people and want to inspire them with a passion for reading, we want to hear from you.

Each of the two libraries in our diverse and multicultural school is welcoming and fantastically well-resourced. Students have regular, timetabled, library lessons and the libraries are popular with students before and after school, and at breaks and lunchtimes. We are a Champion School for the Sparx Reader programme and you'll take a leading role in facilitating and coordinating this and other important interventions to improve our students' literacy.

The Person

We want to recruit an enthusiastic colleague who can deliver first class customer service for library users and support our students with top quality literacy mentoring. You will need to be optimistic and adaptable, have an eye for detail, and have strong interpersonal skills to build positive relationships with staff and students alike.

We will provide full training on our library systems for the right candidate. What's more important is that you have an infectious passion for reading and enjoy working with and supporting young people.
