Job overview
We are seeking a qualified, versatile and enthusiastic Nurse or an experienced Care Assistant to play a key role within a multi-disciplinary team that supports the physical, mental health and emotional wellbeing of our pupils and staff.
The School Medical Centre is run by a team of Registered General Nurses and Care Assistants, in order to provide round-the-clock care for our pupils. The Medical Centre staff aim to promote good health and sensible lifestyle choices, help to deliver the PSHE programme, and co-ordinate preventative health programmes such as immunisations.
We also work with pupils to help them take responsibility for their own health and with the teaching staff to ensure that each pupil fulfils their potential. We aim to treat pupils with a caring and professional manner, supporting the health needs of every student, allowing them to achieve their full potential in all aspects of school life.
The postholder would only normally be required to work in term time; however, the role will involve some elements of weekend working/shift work as well as time “on call”. On call time may be at home if within a reasonable distance to the School or within our Medical Centre.
As well as a diverse community of pupils to care for, motivate and inspire, we can offer job satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment, a competitive salary, pension scheme, fee remission on School fees both at King Edward’s and our partner school Barrow Hills, free car parking, free use of our gym, swimming pool and sports facilities, all meals and snacks on duty and a Cycle to Work Scheme.
King Edward's School is a co-educational boarding and day 11-18 school for some 400 pupils, around 60% of whom are full boarders. We are an HMC school and proud of our unique heritage and place among British co-educational independent schools.
