Lead School Nurse

For an experienced Nurse ready to step away from shift work without stepping back from meaningful clinical practice, this is an exceptional opportunity. As Lead School Nurse at Notting Hill & Ealing High School, you will take ownership of healthcare provision for around 900 students, combining hands-on clinical care with real autonomy, genuine relationships and a working pattern that offers the kind of flexibility most clinical roles never allow. Term time only, no shifts, no nights, no weekends.

You will be the trusted heart of healthcare across our Junior and Senior schools, managing care plans for students with complex conditions, shaping health policy, supporting vulnerable students and working closely with a senior leadership team that takes wellbeing seriously. This is a role for a Nurse who wants to know the people they care for, to be the person students turn to, and to make a difference that goes well beyond the medical room. If you are ready for a role that respects your expertise and your life in equal measure, we would love to hear from you.

About you

We are looking for an NMC-registered Nurse with strong clinical judgement, a calm head under pressure and a genuine ability to connect with young people. You will be confident managing acute presentations and complex long-term conditions, comfortable working with both students and senior leadership, and instinctively perceptive about when a student needs more than medical attention. Above all, you will bring the kind of commitment and professional warmth that makes young people feel genuinely looked after.
