The Health Centre is central to the College's commitment to pupil wellbeing, offering a round-the-clock service in which clinical care and thoughtful pastoral support go hand in hand. We are seeking a registered Nursing Sister to join this collaborative team, bringing sound judgement, compassion and a reassuring presence to the care of pupils, staff and visitors. This is a varied clinical role, encompassing assessment and treatment for illness and injury, first aid, emergency response and the sensitive management of pupils whose needs may be physical, emotional or long term. The successful candidate will support the delivery of specialist health provision, including care relating to asthma and diabetes, travel health, vaccinations and sexual health, while ensuring that each pupil receives appropriate advice, monitoring and onward support. Working closely with the College Medical Officer, GP team, boarding Houses, safeguarding and wellbeing colleagues, parents and external healthcare professionals, the Nursing Sister will help coordinate care that is responsive, confidential and centred on the individual. They will be confident in balancing competing priorities within a busy Health Centre, including periods of independent working, and will recognise when timely escalation is needed.

This is an opportunity for a collaborative nurse who values continuous professional development and wishes to make a meaningful contribution to an outstanding school community. The successful candidate will model excellent standards of care, share learning with colleagues and help maintain an environment in which every member of the College community can access respectful, dependable health support.
