Advert

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced registered nurse to join our amazing team at Earlscliffe.  As School Nurse, we will expect you to provide a first class standard of medical, health and pastoral service for our students and develop the wellbeing initiative throughout the school.  

The role involves daily liaison with our residential and other pastoral staff, assessing the needs of our students and using a problem-solving approach to reach clinical, therapeutic and prescribing decisions.  Although working within this supportive pastoral team, you also need to be comfortable in taking the initiative where appropriate or necessary.  The hours are 42.5 per week, term time only plus one week.  Holiday entitlement in respect of 28 days (pro rata) is included within the salary.  No holiday may be taken during term time.  It may be possible to offer the role to two people as a job-share.

As an organisation we aim to care for all of our student's needs, physical, social and emotional and our NMC registered nurse should have up to date qualifications and registration, together with good leadership skills.  You will also need to have excellent ICT skills.  you should be enthusiastic and flexible - no two days are the same here at Earlscliffe.  You will hold daily clinic sessions for students presenting with ailments to assess whether they can still attend class or require bed rest.  You will then be responsible for attending to them, and monitoring their condition throughout the day.  Meticulous record keeping is essential particularly for the administration of medicines and medical or first aid treatment.

We have a strong team of staff who are caring, supportive and who all work with a determination to be exceptional in all that they do.  This is supported by excellent CPD opportunities, a supportive leadership team and excellent employee benefits.

The post is not residential but there may be an occasion for the option or need for some overnight on-call duties.  You will be expected to be available on the telephone out of hours to provide medical advice.  Experience of working in a similar environment would be beneficial but it is not essential.  

If this sounds like the perfect role for you - and you believe you would be an asset to Earlscliffe please complete the application form without delay.  Although a closing date has been added, we reserve the right to close the recruitment process early to secure the right candidate.  An immediate start is available subject to the usual recruitment checks (Enhanced DBS, references, health etc).
