Job overview

Our students are amazing. They are clever, kind and a joy to work with. They inspire, challenge and drive us as professionals to deliver the highest standards of education and care to fill their school life with academic rigour, compassion and laughter. School is a busy and varied place of work (definitely not your normal 9-5!) but, as a team, we work together to reach out, find solutions and truly make a difference in the lives of young people.

We are seeking an exceptional colleague to join us as our Medical Response Officer, providing care and support to our school community and being the first point of contact for illness or incident, as well as overseeing the administration of prescribed medicines for students. You will also play a key role in the planning and provision of COVID-19 protection measures, including Lateral Flow Testing, helping to ensure that our school community can be as safe as it possibly can be.

Normal working hours will be 8.30am – 3.30pm, Monday to Friday, term time only plus 2 INSET days. Some flexibility may be needed initially to facilitate Lateral Flow Testing before the school day, if required.

We need a calm, sensitive and committed individual who is excited by the prospect of joining our team and taking on this highly rewarding and valued role within our school community.

Applicants must have a minimum of five GCSE (or equivalent) passes at Grade C or above including English and Mathematics and hold a First Aid qualification. Equally as important, however, are the ‘softer’ skills needed to support and care for students and staff in a calm and positive manner, as well as exemplary credentials in administrative and organisational tasks.

You do not need to have worked in an educational setting before but a desire to work with and support young people is essential. We welcome applications from experienced professionals seeking a new career challenge in an outstanding school.

Why you should join Saint Gregory's:

We passionately believe that every child can discover their own remarkable place in the world and the contribution that you bring to our school deserves its own rewards. As a member of our team, you can expect:

• Outstanding professional support to help you develop your career

• A vibrant and dynamic student body that deserves the very best in teaching and support

• A rewarding and dynamic job role making a real, lasting and positive impact

• A positive and innovative learning culture where well-being and workload are effectively managed

• Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme

For an open conversation about the role, please contact Mrs Jenkins, Family Support & Attendance Officer, by email at jenkinsz@st-gregorys.org.uk.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. We follow safer recruitment practices and appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check prior of employment. Details of our Child Protection Policy can be found on our website at www.st-gregorys.org.uk/useful-information/key-documents.

Saint Gregory’s is a Catholic voluntary aided secondary school which was established by the Diocese of Clifton. It primarily serves designated Catholic parishes in Bath and North East Somerset, North West Wiltshire and the north of the County of Somerset and admits students of 11-18 years. We are a popular co-educational school, founded on Catholic Christian values and with a strong family and community ethos. These values envelop the learning of our students, providing them with an academic start to life that is supportive, nurturing and inspiring. Saint Gregory’s has a well-deserved reputation for academic excellence, outstanding pastoral care and an excellent enrichment programme.

In 2019 we were recognised once again as an ‘Outstanding’ secondary school in our Section 48 Diocesan Inspection, highlighting our school as a flourishing educational community where every child is valued and encouraged to grow as individuals. In November 2022, our first Ofsted inspection since July 2013 recognised St Gregory’s as Good overall with Outstanding judgements for Behaviour and Attitudes and Personal Development.

Our GCSE and A Level results are excellent, and not just in raw terms but also in the context of value-added. Such measures seek to identify the progress that every child makes during his or her time with us and show that our students make outstanding progress.

The achievement of our students consistently places our school as one of the top achieving state schools in the country. Students leaving Saint Gregory’s progress to some of the very best academic institutions including Oxford, Cambridge and the Russell Group but, more than this, they leave having acquired the academic success, confidence and skills they need to continue their educational or career journey of choice.

We are located at the southern gateway to the World Heritage City of Bath with beautiful views towards the Severn Estuary and over Bath. Access to the school is easy as it is on main bus routes and next to the Odd Down Bath Park and Ride terminus.

The World Heritage City of Bath itself needs little introduction. Over four million tourists a year come to visit its many attractions such as its Georgian architecture, its festivals, theatres, museums, restaurants and shops. It boasts excellent schools, rugby and football teams and Olympic standard training facilities at the University of Bath.

Bath is served by many attractive towns and villages and our staff and students come from diverse locations and backgrounds within our extensive catchment area.

There is a warm, welcoming family atmosphere at Saint Gregory’s that underpins our culture as a school. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do and by working together we aim to provide the very best opportunities for all our students and staff.

If you would like to be a part of this successful and thriving school and are a well-qualified and highly motivated professional, who shares our sense of values, we would like to hear from you.
