Job description

Do you believe in adding value in everything you do? Do you want to work in a school where every colleague is expected to achieve their personal best? Do our three core values of inclusive, individual and inspirational resonate with you?

Working collaboratively with the Senior Nurse, Nurse, Deputy Head Pastoral and the School Medical Officer, you will ensure a high standard of health care and support is available to our pupils, including health promotion, PSHEE, minor injury and illness assessment.

To excel in this role, you should be a team player who is confident in using your initiative, approachable, empathetic and have a good sense of humour. Excellent communication and organisation skills are a must along with a clear appreciation of the confidentiality required in this role. Experience of working with young people in a pastoral/wellbeing capacity would be an advantage. Applications from those who currently work outside an education setting are welcomed.
