We are looking to appoint and enthusiastic and organised part-time Reading Mentor and Lead Librarian.

Supporting pupils with their reading is an important part of school life and this role will involve tutoring identified pupil groups in this specific area of skill development. We use the Lexonik intervention package and will train the successful post holder to deliver reading intervention sessions to pupils in need of additional intervention.  

In addition, the Librarian part of the role requires someone with a love of reading and an understanding of how to engage the reading habits of our young people in order to complement our current reading strategy. The academy requires a candidate who sees the best in children, can motivate them as well as build supportive, respectful relationships with young people.  We have a well-stocked and well supported library that is established in our school. We have a dedicated team of librarians and several very successful reading projects in place, led by our librarian, including Carnegie shadowing and a peer reading programme. The role is line managed by our head of English but will also work closely with our SENDCO.
