In addition, you will respond to student first aid needs, ensuring their wellbeing and comfort during the school day.

We are looking for an individual who is approachable, calm under pressure, and committed to delivering excellent service. Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team are essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a dynamic school environment and making a positive difference to the daily experience of our school community.

In return, we will offer you:

  • an incredibly supportive group of colleagues and leaders
  • comprehensive induction programme with a commitment to CPD
