This is an exciting time to join us at Cornerstone Academy Trust, with schools based Exeter in East Devon and the coastal towns of Exmouth and Barnstaple. We are wishing to recruit a resolute and professional librarian who will work alongside our other librarians to support children of all ages across the schools.

We are looking for someone who loves books and reading, has a sound and demonstrable knowledge of children’s literature, and has a desire to assist children progress in their reading skills throughout their time at primary school. The postholder will use an online library resource management system alongside Microsoft Teams and Microsoft365 and so must be proficient in the use of IT. Each of our schools has a dedicated, modern, and well stocked library which is at the heart of the school and at the heart of the Trust’s strategy. We open the libraries throughout the whole school day including before and after school. The librarians ensure that we maintain a service across the libraries working with children and their families to build a strong reading ethos and culture within each school. We want every child to be an avid and successful reader.

You will not only be responsible for maintaining the library and the book stock but also supporting children in choosing appropriate books, tracking what they are reading, helping with author visits and in mentoring and tutoring individual children across the curriculum and in their pastoral needs to ensure they make maximum progress in their education. Like other teaching assistants you will play a vital role in the Trust to provide an exciting learning environment.

If you are interested in working additional hours, all year round, there are opportunities to work within our holiday club where you will support in delivering an exciting array of activities to the children who attend.
