The posting

Thank you for your interest in working at Dr Challoner’s Grammar School. We are seeking to recruit a well organised Library Manager at this 11 - 18 grammar school for boys with a co-educational Sixth form. We have a long history of providing superb education to our students and in 2024 Ofsted confirmed their 2019 judgement of Outstanding. All our support staff play a key role in enabling that to happen, by contributing to the forward thinking and innovative culture of the school.

The successful candidate for this role will manage and maintain our modern and well equipped School Library and Learning Resource Centre which complements independent learning within the school and provides a comprehensive space for all students and staff. You will ensure that the library remains a vibrant hub for literacy, independent research and academic study as well as a supportive and welcoming environment for all students.

You should have experience working in an administrative position; experience working in a library and/or school would be desirable, but not essential. You should have excellent communication skills, with the ability to build effective working relationships with students and colleagues. You should be a competent IT user, be able to multi-task, and have good attention to detail.

For further information please contact our Educational Visits and Curriculum Support Team Manager Mrs A Halpin ([email protected]).

This post is being advertised as 27 hours per week, 39 weeks per year. The exact profiling of these hours can be discussed with candidates, but the preferred business need is for them to be worked across 4 days per week, including 3 days working core hours between 8:30 and 16:00.

Benefits of working at Dr Challoner's Grammar School

Staff often remark that DCGS is a great place to work. Staff retention is high, which we believe reflects the supportive and friendly environment in which we work. Students are hard working, capable and diligent. New staff to the school often remark that they enjoy working in an environment where students want to learn. Challoner’s was the third secondary school in the country to be judged Outstanding under Ofsted’s new Education Inspection Framework when inspected in November 2019, with the inspectors noting that the school has a culture of teamwork, loyalty and aspiration and that staff feel exceptionally well supported. This judgement was confirmed again in 2024. In 2025 we ranked 10th in The Times’ best secondary and grammar schools in the south-east.

As the Lead School in the Astra Teaching School, DCGS offers a wide and diverse range of professional development opportunities for staff. Astra's status as a School Centred Initial Teacher Training provider (SCITT) ensures Challoner’s is at the cutting edge of curricular and pedagogical developments in education. The Astra SCITT trains approximately 50 - 70 new entrants per year: in this way, colleagues at Challoner's are able to contribute to, and benefit from, high quality teacher training and CPD across over 50 schools in Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and beyond.

Dr Challoner’s Grammar School also offers staff:

  • A friendly working environment with supportive and caring colleagues
  • Access to a free 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, including financial and legal advice, counselling and health programmes
  • An award winning attitude to staff wellbeing and mental health
  • Staff Buddies - all new staff are allocated a staff buddy
  • Hero of the Week! - recognition for staff who go above and beyond
  • Preferential admission for qualified children of staff (some restrictions apply)
  • Excellent opportunities for professional development
  • Membership of the Chartered College of Teaching
  • Access to Blue Light card benefits
  • Access to onsite cardio fitness and weights room
  • Free on site parking

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
