Library Assistant

Library Assistant

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and enthusiastic Library Assistant to join our friendly, diverse and academically successful community at LEH.

Here at LEH, we are firm believers that our Learning Resource Centre (LRC), Sixth Form Library and Junior School Library are at the heart of the school and require someone who will be integral in supporting and fostering a love of learning through academic and extra-curricular activities.

The successful candidate will assist the Head of Library Services in supporting pupils with study and life skills, by liaising with all departments, as well as with individual members of the teaching staff in contributing to the curriculum and personal development.

What we offer: 

• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site on the outskirts of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.  
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.
• A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found here.

How to apply: 

An application pack is available from the School’s website by clicking here. Applications must be made on the School’s own form and should be sent to personnel@lehs.org.uk.

The closing date is noon on Friday, 28th June 2024.

Applications will be considered upon receipt and interviews can take place at any time. The school reserves the right to close this post at an earlier date should a successful appointment be made.

CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted.

Safeguarding Statement:

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach.  In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
