The Health and Wellbeing Centre are looking for enthusiastic, dynamic forward thinking registered nurses to join our flexible nursing bank. With excellent rates of pay and a fully supportive team environment, no two days are ever the same.

We are proud of our facilities that rank amongst the best in the South of England and our pupils, parents and staff experience a warm and friendly environment with strong pastoral care for every pupil alongside a comprehensive co-curricular and enrichment programme. In March 2016 the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) judged the school as ‘excellent’ in all areas and in October 2018 we successfully passed a full ISI compliance inspection.
