Job Description
St Paul’s Girls’ School is an extraordinary institution. While we consistently achieve some of the best GCSE and A level results in the country, we believe education is about far more than exams. With fewer rules and no uniform, we actively nurture creativity, curiosity and a love of discovery. Our rich co-curricular programme builds confidence, encourages independence and strengthens our connection with the wider community. It’s a distinctive environment – ambitious, thoughtful and forward looking – but most importantly, it is a place where people matter.

Working closely with the Librarian, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the library. You will provide a welcoming and efficient frontline service to pupils and staff, support the organisation and development of library resources, and help maintain a calm, purposeful study space. You will also contribute to the wider life of the library by promoting reading and research, supporting events and initiatives, and working collaboratively with colleagues across IT, safeguarding and pastoral teams. This is a varied, hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys working with young people and takes pride in delivering excellent service. Hours: 35 hours per week, permanent, term-time + 1 week (37 weeks per year). In return, you can expect a comprehensive package of rewards, including a pension scheme, private medical insurance after five years’ service, life assurance, season ticket loan, free access to our extensive leisure facilities, free lunches, free eye tests, an advice and counselling service and a generous reduction on fees for your family.
