THE ROLE

Working as part of the Health Centre team, the role holder will support the School's medical staff to provide care for pupils, seen in the Health Centre. The Health Centre Pupil Support Worker will be based in the Health Centre during Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

THE SCHOOL

Oundle and Laxton Junior Schools have long been associated with the very best of modern independent education, especially boarding. The Schools take their responsibility to pupils seriously so that they can emerge as decent, open-minded adults; ambitious about what they can go on to achieve and contribute. Over 1400 pupils are on roll at the School, of whom 840 are full boarders. Academic results are steadfastly excellent.

A team of around 800 staff, both academic and support, ensure an education of the highest standard is in place across the Schools with the efforts of the whole team focused on this fundamental aim.

LIVING IN OUNDLE

We are fortunate in our location at the heart of a beautiful market town. School and town are part of the same community and our pupils take their place within this community, not isolated from it.
