Library Services Specialist (Primary)

The Library Services Specialist is a key role within our team in supporting learning activities within the Junior School, cross-campus library support as well as being involved with the day-to-day life of Trinity Grammar.

If you have a keen interest in encouraging connection and promoting learning through reading and research, and love to organise things then this may be the role for you. Your creative side will be ignited through the organisation and promotion of participating in Library events such as book week, Library Lovers Day, Author readings and content creation for our social media platforms, creating displays, and so on. You will also have the opportunity to share your love of reading through working directly with students supporting our literacy programme.

Your well-developed knowledge and administrative skills will be stimulated through developing our physical and digital collections, readers’ advisory, supporting teachers and perhaps even facilitating lessons (research and reference help, information literacy, critical thinking skills etc.). Your interest in books will go a long way in helping us enhance our collection as well as serve as a great tool in helping our students develop their love of reading.

Working in partnership with the Teacher Librarian, this role is responsible for the administration aspects pertaining to the day-to-day operations of the Library including stocktakes, ordering, accessioning and covering resources.

This role is part-time. Your usual hours would be 8am- 4pm, however you may be asked on occasion to work at our Senior campus which is open 7.30am - 6.00pm each day (with extended hours till 8.00pm two days a week). The role has responsibility for library supervision duties throughout the week (opening, recess, lunch etc).

 The ability to work as an effective team member and outstanding interpersonal skills are essential. A formal Library qualification and/or Library experience is desirable, however our ideal applicant is not necessarily the most experienced or qualified. We are looking for an individual who brings enthusiasm, is resourceful and resilient, and is committed to supporting and encouraging students to develop their own natural curiosity through inquiry and research.

Trinity is committed to the support and professional development of all staff, by offering:

• Access to state-of-the-art resources and facilities
• Opportunity for involvement in Sport and Co-curricular activities outside of the classroom
• A strong Christian foundation
• Opportunities to be part of a Professional Learning Team

We are looking for;

• Enthusiastic life-long learners
• Innovative practitioners with a passion for all things library and life-long learning
• A willingness to be involved in the broad life of the School
• A connection with the Christian Mission of the School

Applications close 4pm 28th March 2023.
