Student Welfare Officer (Medical) job summary

The primary purpose of the Student Welfare Officer (Medical) is to ensure the health, safety, and holistic well-being of all students and staff within the school. This role is responsible for the immediate provision of high-quality first aid and emergency care. A critical aspect involves the management of Individualised Healthcare Plans for students with chronic conditions. The Medical Officer is tasked with liaising proactively with external agencies (e.g., NHS teams, Public Health) to effectively plan and facilitate school-based vaccination programmes and health screenings. Crucially, the Student Welfare Officer (Medical) is responsible for the professional management and organisation of all stored medications, ensuring stock is within date and secure. This responsibility extends to the meticulous preparation and organisation of necessary medications for all school trips and off-site activities.

The role requires meticulous administration, including the accurate updating of student health information within the school's Management Information System (Bromcom) and diligently recording all medical interventions, incidents, and treatments using the specialised electronic medical record system, SmartLog. This ensures comprehensive record-keeping, strict compliance with data protection laws, and a smooth flow of communication with parents, staff, and external healthcare professionals.

This role will also provide essential support to the school office, including efficiently fielding and directing incoming calls and emails, managing on-calls, serving as the primary resource for answering student queries face-to-face at the door, assisting with reception including visitors and performing administrative and clerical tasks necessary for the efficient flow of information and documentation.

We have a staff body who, while small, are equally driven to achieve great things and who work together fantastically well - we have a pupil body of superb young people who enjoy coming to school and are equally motivated to succeed.

If our values of Polite, Prepared, Positive, Proud & Perseverant resonate with yours and you would like to join our friendly team, then we would be delighted to meet with you.
