Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a confident and caring First Aider/Receptionist to join our Student Reception, taking a lead role in providing First Aid support to students and staff. The post is situated in our Student Services Hub alongside colleagues in a busy shared space.
The job requires ensuring care plans are fully implemented & updated and liaising with students, parents, colleagues and other agencies about both general and medical matters. Keeping up-to-date electronic accident records and reports is also part of the role so a basic knowledge of health and safety matters would be ideal. It is essential that the postholder holds a full First Aid certificate or has prior experience in a similar role and a commitment to immediate training.
There will be some administration involved in the role and whilst experience in a school is not essential, we are looking for someone who is used to operating IT systems in a front-of-house setting. The post requires you to be able to deal sensitively with a variety of situations with students, staff, parents and external organisations.
An ability to remain calm in stressful situations and a flexible approach with highly accurate written communication skills is essential.
The postholder will also be responsible for taking any external post to the Post Office, so a valid driving licence and daily use of a vehicle is necessary.
The working hours for this role are 8.30am to 4pm, Mondays to Thursdays (28 hours per week), with a 30-minute break for lunch each day.
The job description is generic but there will be every opportunity as part of the interview process to discuss this in detail.
