As a child prodigy we can expect Tony to have picked up some management experience along the way.

 

If he jumps into a Library Manager post on an Agenda for Change band 7 (which is where the national profiles should have placed this role) then he would be on a scale that starts at £26,948.

 

Here is one such job in beautiful North East London – paying slightly more as it has a bit of London Weighting on top.

I hope they are ready for the flood of applicants!

 

That said - it would certainly have been more interesting if they had looked for other options in non “library” roles.

 

Cheers,

 

Alan

He might want “new horizons” but the Guardian “career advisor” shows a distinct lack of imagination, they’re all library jobs, I’m sure Tony could have worked out for himself that he could work in another library. And starting on £25K in the NHS! Can I have an application form for that library please?

I think we should be more impressed by the fact that Tony has managed to work as a children’s librarian for five years and become a member of CILIP all by the tender age of 22.  Clearly in a public library that believes in hiring them young.

I’m impressed;

a) that Tony earned £23K as a children’s librarian; and

b) that his research skills could command a minimum of £25K in the NHS.

Perhaps I work for a different NHS?

I thought list members might be interested to see this article from the Guardian today…

What else can I do? http://society.guardian.co..uk/societyguardian/story/0,,1606088,00.html

Tony, 22, is a librarian and member of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals. After five years working in a children's library, on £23k, he wants new horizons

1 If Tony stays with a local authority, he could go down the management route, which would enhance his CV and give more options to pursue wider cultural management roles. As a librarian team manager responsible for staff and service development, he would maintain some customer contact. His salary would increase to a maximum £27,000.

2 Working in a prison or young offender institution would offer fresh challenges. A key part of the job would involve encouraging inmates to use the services, perhaps for the first time. The professional satisfaction would help compensate for a drop in salary, to around £22,000.

3 Tony's research skills could lead to employment as an NHS librarian. Many hospital trusts have onsite staff libraries to help keep clinicians up to date and boost the professional development of other staff.. He would ensure information could be found easily through clear library indexing and catalogue keeping. Tony might also provide regular summaries of clinical journals for medical staff. He can expect at least £25,000.

4 With a less long-term view, Tony could become a freelance librarian working for government departments, local councils or non-governmental organisations. He could earn between £100 and £400 a day. His CILIP membership entitles him to register for an international job swap, which might create new career options or provide him with breathing space before deciding his next career move.

5 Most cathedrals have their own libraries. The salary varies but can be low because of a lack of funds. However, working as an assistant librarian at Lambeth Palace library, which is the historic record office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, offers up to £30,445. Tony's library and information studies qualification is essential, and he must be interested in ecclesiastical business.
