Detail

Do you believe in adding value in everything you do? Do you want to work in a school where every colleague is expected to achieve their personal best? Do our three core values of inclusive, individual and inspirational resonate with you?

If this sounds like you and you like sweet treats in the staff room, the idea of dogs around site and a calendar of staff socials then, please, read on.

Working collaboratively with the Senior Nurse, Nurse, Deputy Head Pastoral and the School Medical Officer, you will ensure a high standard of health care and support is available to our pupils, including health promotion, PSHEE, minor injury and illness assessment.
