Librarian

We love our Library. It is open-plan and sits at the heart of our Academy. Sometimes it is a place of reading and independent study. At other times it is a hive of activity with resident authors, competitions, and events. This role is perfect for somebody who enjoys the freedom to work independently and provides the scope to drive your ideas to promote reading and research within our student community.

As a small multi-Academy Trust, we have close collaboration. Links between primaries and our 6th form help our students share their delight in books and we provide our students with lots of opportunities to bring stories to life:

• Literacy Initiatives - reading aloud and Bedrock Learning programmes.


• Competitions - lively inter-class reading challenges and promotions.


• Author and poet visits - sharing their work and sparking creativity, including our own author in residence.


• Local academic and cultural partnerships - pooling knowledge and resources.


• Central location - welcoming and supportive atmosphere. There is a buzz throughout the day.


Beyond the department, here is a flavour of what life is like at The Langley Academy:

• Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning in lessons and achieve well in many subjects. Students report that it is easy to be yourself within this inclusive culture with high levels of respect for diversity.' Ofsted, 2023


• Strong, supportive leadership team - mentoring and 1-1 coaching from leaders across the Trust


• Part of the Arbib Education Trust providing access to unique resources and pioneering museum learning, including on-site museum exhibitions


What we offer:

• Work-life balance - innovative approach to providing flexibility around how you work, as well as social activities, early finish Fridays and a Trust Day offered in term time.


• Enhanced funding for personal development - to support our learning culture with mentoring and 1:1 coaching.


• Staff Discounts - including staff discounts from Vivup Benefits and access to private healthcare.


• Healthy body and mind - free on-site gym, cycle to work tax free scheme, free annual flu jab, professional counselling, and wellbeing resources.


• On site parking facilities and transport links.
