Your Role

Thank you for your interest in the Librarian and Research Tutor position. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and dedicated individual to join our team and contribute to the continued success of Pimlico Academy.

The Librarian and Research Tutor works across multiple teams with the central aim of developing our pupils' access to resources and spaces for independent reading and study, and opportunities for and engagement with research. This is a pupil-facing role where you will work closely with our Sixth Form team supporting the Sixth Form programme as well as our Future Scholars programme and other research and super-curricular opportunities across all year groups.

The successful candidate will improve the provision and running of the Library, ensuring it provides a well-resourced, dynamic learning environment which allows pupils to interact with information resources in a mature and considered way.

The post holder will also be an important figure in advising pupils in their pursuit of higher education, helping coordinate activities for early entry students (medicine, dentistry, Oxbridge), and will play a significant role in supporting our Sixth Form pupils as they work to complete their Pimlico Diploma enrichment projects.
