Advert

A Senior Nursery Nurse is required for Sept 2018 to join the team in our First Leap Nursery. The post is for 34.25 hours per week during term time (38 weeks) plus 5 days INSET training days. The hours are 8.30am – 3.45pm, plus an additional hour for meetings and training every other Thursday, finishing at 4.45pm

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new chapter in our specialist nursery and pre-school special needs provision in Thanet as we look to expand the work that we do across the district.

In the absence of the Nursery Manager, the Senior Nursery Nurse will take the lead role within the nursery, managing the staff team and ensuring continued high standards in teaching and learning.           

Whilst experience of working in a special school is not essential, knowledge and experience of the issues faced by children with special educational needs or disabilities will be a distinct advantage. Due to the high level of need of some pupils, responsibilities will include intimate personal care, feeding pupils where necessary (including by gastric tube with relevant training) and administration of medication (subject to training).

Candidates must hold an appropriate Level 3 qualification (e.g. NNEB Nursery Nurse Diploma; CACHE Level 3 in Childcare & Education; NVQ3 / BTEC Diploma in Children's Care & Education; or equivalent qualification recognised by the National Qualifications Framework (NQF)) and be able to demonstrate competency linked to National Occupational Standards. You must also be able to evidence a high standard of literacy and numeracy (i.e. GCSE Grade C or above) in order to undertake essential record keeping.

Foreland Fields School is committed to the safeguarding and well-being of children therefore all successful candidates will be subject to an Enhanced DBS check and references.
