This role also includes providing high‑quality administrative support, keeping up to date with all pupil medical paperwork and fostering strong working relationships with staff, pupils and parents.

 Key Responsibilities

• Provide first aid support to pupils and staff, ensuring all incidents are accurately recorded in Arbor.
• Manage medication, Individual Healthcare Plans, allergy and asthma documentation and maintain up‑to‑date medical records.
• Liaise with parents, carers, school nursing services and staff regarding pupil medical needs.
• Ensure medical supplies are stocked and organise staff first aid training when required.
• Support staff working with vulnerable pupils.
• Complete administrative tasks to a high standard, including emails, documentation, photocopying and filing.
• Promote good attendance and ensure pupils are in lessons.
• Maintain strong communication between school, parents and staff.

 What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a friendly, professional and highly organised individual with the ability to stay calm, empathetic and solutions‑focused. You should be able to work independently as well as part of a team, with excellent customer service skills and attention to detail. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils, staff and parents. The  ideal candidate will have a strong educational background and have previous admin experience, used to working in a fast-paced environment  and have good computing skills.
