The Lead Nurse will be a professional, caring, enthusiastic, dynamic and experienced nurse (RGN/RN qualified) who enjoys working with young people, and who has the ability to manage the health centre and our team of dedicated and highly professional nurses, and to oversee health provision and the health and wellbeing assistant in the Prep School and the boarding staff in the Senior School.
From meeting the physical needs of some pupils in drop-in clinics, to looking after those boarders who are too unwell to remain in their boarding house, or administering first aid and guiding pupils who require psychological support, the role of a Headington nurse is a varied but vital one. The Lead Nurse has a number of administrative and leadership responsibilities but retains the day-to-day contact with pupils (and their parents) and staff that are critical to any nursing role at the School.
Please note that applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and we reserve the right to interview, appoint and close adverts early depending on the volume of applications we receive. We therefore encourage you to apply at the earliest opportunity to avoid disappointment.
