Senior Nurse

• School Health Centre, 40 hours per week, term time

• Live-in (accommodation available), or live-out

• Salary by negotiation, dependent upon skills and experience

• Start date: as soon as possible

Caldicott is one of the country’s most prestigious Independent Boarding and Day Preparatory Schools for Boys. We are a flourishing school with around 250 boys from 7 to 13 years old, with all boys boarding in the final two years.  We deliver a first class education, sporting provision and a rich variety of music, drama, arts and extracurricular opportunities, in a friendly and supportive working environment.  The School is only twenty miles from central London in a beautiful location.

We are looking to appoint an experienced School Nurse to join and manage our medical team, for up to 40 hours per week, term time only, on a flexible rota.  There is also a requirement to work for 3 days immediately prior to the start of a new term and 3 days at the start of each school holiday period.  For the live-in role there will be a requirement to be part of night-time medical on-call and sleep-in rotas, along with other Boarding House staff.  

Experience of dealing with young children and with a keen interest in health care promotion are essential to this role. Previous experience of working in A&E, with minor injuries or in a school environment would be an advantage and candidates should be confident working independently and as part of a team, as the school nurses play a vital role in the healthcare of all members of the school community.

Caldicott is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment.  The successful applicant will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check.
