The Academy is seeking to appoint a well-qualified, flexible and proactive individual to be part of our team of Study Coordinators, with responsibilities across both the main school libraries and the Sixth Form Study Centre.
 

This role involves the daily management of these key study environments, promoting a strong study ethic and providing academic administrative support. The successful candidate will play an important role in ensuring these spaces are well-organised, well-resourced, and used effectively by students and staff. They may also take a lead in supporting Sixth Form students with university applications, mentoring academic progress, and contributing to pastoral care and attendance, while helping to cultivate a culture of independent learning and academic ambition across the wider school community.
 

The successful candidate should be educated to degree level and must be computer literate (experience with Microsoft Excel is essential), extremely well organised, confident and able to both manage groups of students and empathise with their needs across all year groups. This role could suit recent graduates looking to gain experience in a school setting, or those with prior experience of working in education or with young people. The successful applicant will be part of both the Sixth Form Management Team and the wider Library study centres, contributing to the smooth and effective running of all Academy study spaces that support students in Years 7 to 13. A genuine belief in the potential of our students to achieve their ambitions, alongside a willingness to support and motivate them, is essential. Training and support will be provided to help the appointee develop their skills within the role.
