Permanent, part-time (30hrs/wk, 0.6FTE, term-time only plus INSET days (approx. x7/year) and one week in the Summer holidays.)
Competitive Salary plus Accommodation if required
 
Our client is an outstanding coeducational boarding and day preparatory near Godalming in Surrey. There are currently over 220 pupils in the school aged 7-13; approximately 70 of them board, full-time, weekly or part-time.
 
The Head Nurse is responsible for leading on all matters of health and medical care for the pupils and staff.  It is envisaged that this position will be a part-time role, but for the right candidate there is scope for the role to be both full-time and residential to support the boarding house. Applicants interested in this should make this clear in their application.
 
The Head Nurse is expected to be involved in the life of the school - getting to know the children and how the school functions. They will work closely with other members of staff and parents in the pastoral care of the pupils, and will support and advise children, staff and parents regarding health matters.
 
The Head Nurse will report to the Assistant Head (Pastoral), and work in conjunction with the Matrons and the boarding house team under the leadership of the Housemaster. The nature of the work will also necessitate close communication with the Headmaster, the Director of Sport and the Bursar.
 
This is, predominantly, a term time only role, however, the Head Nurse is expected to be at the school for the three days prior to the start of each term, and for one additional week per year to fulfil administrative and compliance aspects of the role. Saturdays are busy days and some cover on Saturdays will be required, either by prior agreement or on a rota basis.
