Librarian

Here is an exciting opportunity to take on a central role in a successful school. We are a multicultural school with close to half the staff and over half of the students having an international background. This mix of cultures makes for a very fun and engaging workplace.

As our librarian you will be responsible for the maintenance and development of our library and a special research/study room annex. You will develop the range of books and other materials on offer according to our students' needs and interests. You will be responsible for encouraging good reading habits and for developing their reading and research skills. You will also run and develop the study room and help students with their school work. It is vital in your work that you believe in and can actively implement the IES Ethos.

Vi ser gärna att du har ett genuint intresse för och erfarenhet av barn och ungdomar, liksom av biblioteksarbete i en mångkulturell miljö.
Goda IT-kunskaper och språkkunskaper är meriterande.
Som person vill vi att du är kreativ och kan arbeta självständigt och i grupp. Samverkan är naturligt för dig och du har ett gott och professionellt bemötande.

Examen i biblioteks- och informationsvetenskap eller likvärdig utbildning är önskvärt. Vi kommer att lägga stor vikt vid att du har personliga egenskaper som vi bedömer passar vår verksamhet.

We offer a positive and constructive work environment where everyone works together for the school's goals. We take care of our staff and offer a wide range of social activities and opportunities for professional development.

About the school and IES:
We have grown in size each year and in January 2015 we had approximately 820 students in years 1-9, making this the largest compulsory school in Jönköping County. In 2012 we were one of the first 8 schools in Sweden who started running a special advanced education (Spetsutbildning) approved by Skolverket.

Internationella Engelska Skolan is a leading independent school group (friskola), reaching academic results far above average. It was founded in 1993 by Ms Barbara Bergström, a science teacher, originally from the US. In 2009, she received the award "Entrepreneur of the year in Sweden". Over 15,000 students are currently enrolled in our 22 schools around the country and the organisation has close to 1300 members of staff. You can read more at www.engelska.se.
