Location: Ealing, West London

Salary: Competitive (Based on experience)

Contract Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Start Date: ASAP / Immediate

The Opportunity

Wayman Education is seeking an enthusiastic and knowledgeable School Librarian for an immediate start at a highly regarded school in Ealing. This is a fantastic opportunity for a literacy advocate who is passionate about fostering a love for reading and developing essential research skills in students across all key stages.

The Role

You will be the heart of the school’s resource centre, managing a diverse collection of physical and digital assets. Beyond checking books in and out, you will play a strategic role in promoting literacy and supporting the academic curriculum through managed study spaces and information literacy workshops.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Library Management: Overseeing the acquisition, cataloguing, and maintenance of books, periodicals, and digital resources using the school’s Library Management System (LMS).

  • Promoting Literacy: Organizing book fairs, author visits, and reading challenges to inspire a lifelong reading culture among students.

  • Research Support: Assisting students and staff with finding high-quality academic sources, teaching effective search techniques, and advising on referencing/plagiarism.

  • Space Optimization: Maintaining a welcoming, quiet, and productive environment for independent study and collaborative learning.

  • Curriculum Liaison: Working with department heads to ensure the library collection supports the current GCSE and A-Level syllabi.

The School

This Ealing-based school prides itself on its academic excellence and holistic approach to student development. The library is a central hub of the campus, recently updated with modern study booths and integrated technology to support a 21st-century learning environment.

Why join this team?

  • Creative Freedom: Take the lead on designing library displays and curated reading lists that reflect the diverse interests of the student body.

  • Supportive Community: Work in an environment where the library is recognized as a vital component of the school’s academic success.

  • Prime Location: Situated in West London with excellent links via the Elizabeth Line and Ealing Broadway, offering an easy commute from central or outer London.

  • Professional Growth: Opportunities to collaborate with local Ealing libraries and attend national school library association conferences.

Requirements

  • Previous experience working in a library setting, preferably within a school or academic environment.

  • A degree in Library and Information Management or a related field (CILIP membership is highly desirable).

  • Strong ICT skills and proficiency in Library Management Systems (e.g., Accessit, Heritage, or Reading Cloud).

  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage students of all reading abilities.

  • A proactive approach to organizing events and managing a busy resource centre.

  • An enhanced DBS check (or willingness to undergo one immediately).
