Head Of Library

Description:

Carey operates on two campuses with a Church, College, Jump Early Development Services and Timber Cafe operating on each. Carey has also developed the Carey Right Track Foundation, Avenir Leadership Institute and Carey Hope, each of which serve both on and well beyond our campuses. Our colleges serve the educational needs of over 2000 students across two campuses (Harrisdale and Forrestdale).

Our reputation reflects a commitment to provide the best all-round education for our students by challenging them in their intellectual, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual development. Our College has two campuses – Harrisdale and Forrestdale. They are well known for holistic education. Since opening its doors in 1998, the co-educational College has built up a reputation as an educator of excellence. The Harrisdale campus provides Kindergarten to Year 12 and the Forrestdale Campus currently offers Kindergarten to Year 10, growing each year to become a Kindergarten to Year 12 school by 2024.

The Head of Library (HoL) is the Senior Librarian working closely with Primary and Secondary leadership to enhance student learning and is both an educator and library manager. They will lead the operations of the library, developing effective information and research services for students and staff.

Heads of Department at Carey are leaders in the pursuit of these values both within the departments they lead and across the borders of the College. As such, the role of Head of Department is primarily about Accountability, Leadership, Collaboration, Management and Communication.
We hold our responsibility to provide a child-safe environment in accordance with the child-safe standards seriously. As the College has a duty of care to its students, the expectation and understanding is that all staff will act in the best interests of the students and that the welfare and safety of students will be of paramount concern. Staff are expected to behave in a manner which promotes the safeguarding role of the College, in a manner which is in accord with College expectations, professional expectations, and best practice of the teaching profession, as well as the expected norms of our community.
