The library at Ernesford Grange Community Academy is an extremely popular resource for all students and staff in the school. Students use the thousands of books, the range of seating and numerous computers to work, read, research and study.

The library prides itself on being a warm and welcoming space for any student who wishes to use it. Reading and independent study are whole school priorities, and the library is a valued hub for reading and learning. Reading is central to all that the library does and students are encouraged to read at whichever level is accessible to them, with both reading for pleasure and progression serving as key focuses. Working at EGA’s library will give you the hugely rewarding opportunity to work with our diverse and enthusiastic students as well as being part of a whole school team with exceptional teaching and support staff.

As Assistant Librarian you will be required to support both staff and students with their queries, locating, loaning and returning books, as well as supporting students with use of the computers, homework and book recommendations.
