Opportunity for an exceptional Librarian/TA to shape a brand-new Ark secondary school in Croydon

Ark Blake Academy is a new secondary school in Croydon opening in September 2020 to year 7 initially and growing each year. Our aim is to transform children’s lives through an excellent education. Our team will be supported to uphold the very highest standards of behaviour through centralised systems, and to teach exceptional lessons through shared planning.

We are recruiting a founding team of exceptional staff to achieve our vision and work together to create a genuinely outstanding school. The new founding Librarian/TA will shape the provision in that area.

Experience will not be a determining factor. The successful candidate will grow with our school: we will develop you, providing one-to-one support, coaching and access to extensive network training. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate on network-wide projects.

As a Librarian, you will ensure that the Library is at the heart of school life and plays a central role in developing a culture of reading within Ark Blake and local community. While the school is in its infancy, the role will also involve support of pupils and their learning.
