Do you want to be our next librarian? Welcome to Campus Djursholm!

The Viktor Rydberg Schools Foundation is looking for a dedicated librarian. This is a permanent position with an 80% workload, starting in August or by agreement. The duties are shared equally between the two schools that make up Campus Djursholm: Viktor Rydberg Secondary School (lower secondary) and Viktor Rydberg Upper Secondary School. The schools share a common library, and your primary workplace will be at VRS Djursholm, where the library is located in the Secondary School's premises.

As a librarian here, you work outward-facing and service-oriented. You serve as a pedagogical resource for both students and staff, focusing on media and information literacy. You play a key role in our efforts to promote reading and foster a vibrant relationship with literature.

Responsibilities

You will work closely with the foundation's other librarians, as well as students, teachers, and school management. Your main responsibilities include:

• Developing and strengthening students' and staff's media and information literacy.
• Working pedagogically to support and inspire students' language development.
• Participating in teaching, projects, and collaboration with teacher colleagues to create engagement around library issues.
• Being comfortable working both digitally and physically in classrooms and the library, as well as giving presentations to larger groups and providing individual guidance.
• Planning operations and administering library systems, databases, platforms, and media.
• Developing and updating the book collection.

Requirements

• Relevant university degree in Library and Information Science.
• Good proficiency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

Profile

As a colleague, you are creative, receptive, and communicative. You have the ability to structure your work independently and take initiative. Keeping up to date within the profession is second nature to you, and you thrive in an organization that is constantly evolving. You are well-versed in IT and digital solutions.

Merits

• Experience with library systems such as Welib or similar.
• Experience working in a school library.
