St Matthew’s Primary School are looking for a Healthcare Assistant to join their energetic school team in September 2024.

Whilst St Matthew’s is a large primary school, it has a calm, personal and happy atmosphere. We are a big school with small community habits and pride ourselves on everyone’s personal, academic and professional well-being and this is a cornerstone of our ethos. The sense of being in an ambitious, supportive family is often commented on by children, parents and staff alike. 

The role of the Healthcare Assistant will be to support and further meet the needs of our pupils with a range of medical conditions.  We are looking for a practitioner who is able to undertake the required training in order to administer specific medical care for individual pupils.  The post-holder will develop a thorough understanding of the medical needs of all pupils in the school but will not be allocated to any one pupil.  This is a non-class based role.  

From our new Healthcare Assistant, we would ask you to have: 

• Experience and a working knowledge of supporting pupils with a range of medical needs

• A commitment to inclusion and supporting all children to achieve their potential

• A positive, warm and nurturing approach to all children

• Patience, dedication and flexibility

• A desire to face a new challenge

• Good organisational and administrative skills

• A professional attitude towards working with others, including a range of outside agencies

  
  

In return we can offer you: 

• A truly child centred, friendly and holistic school

• A strong team and school community

• A safe and nurturing environment for our staff as well as our pupils

• A supportive and solution focused SENCO and SLT
