Job overview
Eastbourne College Incorporated (ECi or ‘the Charity’) comprises St Andrew’s Prep ages 9 months to 13 years and Eastbourne College, ages 13-18 years, co-ed day and boarding schools. Both schools share the primary aim to educate children in a safe environment to lead happy, fulfilled lives. The schools provide a broad, modern and connected education that takes place in the classroom, the house, the games field, the assembly hall and the wider community.
A unique opportunity has arisen for an experienced Senior Sister/Lead Nurse to be part of this engaged, talented and vibrant cohort, living and working in such a stunning part of the country.
As part of a wider team, the successful candidate will work collaboratively to ensure that pupils at both schools are medically cared for as appropriate in a school setting, using nursing and management skills, working within the parameters set by safeguarding and child protection policies and regulations.
The ideal candidate will be a Registered General Nurse and will need to demonstrate empathy and understanding and have an uncompromising desire to attain the best care for the pupils.

Eastbourne College (Incorporated) is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The appointment is subject to an enhanced DBS check, pre-employment medical questionnaire and positive references.
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the Charity is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
Eastbourne College (Incorporated) welcomes applications from all sectors of the community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our pupil intake. We consider the most important factor to be the right skills, abilities and attitude for the job which will ultimately improve the wellbeing and education of the pupils.

There are not many top independent schools in Britain where you can take a six-minute stroll and find yourself on the doorstep of a national park, an international tennis venue, a county cricket ground, two challenging golf courses, award-winning beaches, theatres, an award-winning modern art gallery, a shopping centre (with cinema) and a mainline station to London (85 minutes), London Gatwick Airport (55 minutes) and Ashford International (direct trains to Paris).
Today Eastbourne College reaches out like never before, connecting its boarding and day pupils with the raft of opportunities that abound within a few hundred metres of the school; and beyond. The College's learning environment is second to none thanks to a £33 million redevelopment (completed in 2019), an outstanding, supportive house system, and a timetable which optimises educational contact time, provides optional Saturday morning enrichment sessions, and promotes a busy calendar of competitive sport and socials.
The College has got into a tradition of stimulating academic success while developing people of good character; good people that others want to be with.
In 2021, 82 per cent of the grades awarded at A-level were A*-B. 50 per cent of the School’s top achievers were girls with six going on to study at Oxford or Cambridge university.
Pupils leaving the College achieve A-level grades that enable them to access top courses at the leading universities at home or abroad while also enjoying a diverse and successful wider school life.
Healthy learning for the long term and an extra-mile approach to pastoral care are the guiding principles that underpin an Eastbourne College education, which consistently ranks in the top 4 per cent nationally for academic value added. This means that, on average, pupils achieve one whole grade higher than predicted moving from GCSE to A-level.
The reputation of the College’s pre-medical school (spearheaded by a GP) has gained ground in recent years and all pupils benefit from a dedicated Futures Department which facilitates pathways into higher education in the UK and abroad. The College has an excellent record of entry to Oxbridge, Russell Group, USA university scholarship, and myriad specialist higher education establishments.
