Your main duties will be to provide first aid and medical assistance to staff and students during the academy day. You will assist the Health and Wellbeing with the management of medicines and to play a key role in the ongoing health and welfare of students and staff across the academy. When not administering first aid you will work on either the student or visitor reception.
Additional duties will include:

Ideally you will have some experience of working in a school setting, although training can be given.
This is a very busy role, servicing a secondary school with 2500 students, some with complex medical needs, (on which specific and thorough training can be given). There are several students who experienced seizures on a daily basis, and you would have to be competent and have previous experience handing these types of medical instances.
The chosen candidate will be personable, compassionate and a good listener, with excellent written and verbal communication skills. We are looking to recruit someone with energy and enthusiasm who will be able to lead and work as an integral part of a busy and hardworking team.
