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, 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. We are looking for a passionate individual who has the capability to support our students who are in need of a first line response to injuries, illness and administering prescribed medication. The successful candidate will be able to identify when a medical situation needs escalation, when a child can be supported to return to class and must be able to follow explicit medication guidance. Exceptional organisational and communication skills are absolutely essential for this role.
The successful candidate will act as a key part of our safeguarding Team, recognising and escalating safeguarding concerns and supporting students accordingly under the direction and advice of the wider Pastoral Team. This role provides general administrative support to our Attendance and Alternative Provision Teams as part of its wider pastoral responsibilities working across both the main school and Sixth Form.
You do not need to have worked in a school environment before and you do not need to be a trained medical professional although of course we also welcome applications from experienced professionals.
Applicants must possess a minimum of three GCSEs or equivalent, one of which must be English/Literacy. A relevant professional qualification is also desirable but not essential.
