Head Nurse Job (Part-Time 30 hrs per week)

I am working with an outstanding coeducational boarding and day preparatory school located in the idyllic village setting of Shackleford near Godalming in Surrey.

They are seeking a Head Nurse to join their team from January 2024, on either a part-time basis or a full-time residential role combined with a boarding position.

Role:

The Head Nurse is responsible for leading on all matters of health and medical care for the pupils and staff at the school.

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.

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.

You will:

Hold a current Nursing qualification and current NMC registration

Adhere to the NMC Code for Nurses and be conversant with the Scope of Professional Practice and other NMC advisory papers

Hold a current FAW certificate (This can be completed after acceptance of job but before the start of the employment)

Have experience of providing emergency medical care and running a department

Have the ability to communicate and relate to children, staff and parents

Have good administrative skills (a familiarity with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook would be preferable)

Be able to triage children’s needs and prioritise workload.

Be in sympathy with the ethos and aims of the school.

Have a working knowledge in the following areas:

Concussion/Vision testing/Hearing testing/Eating Disorders/Mental Health/Sports injuries/Acne/Lice/Diabetes and immunizations

Hours:

Permanent, part-time (30hrs/wk, 0.6FTE, term-time only plus INSET days (approx. x7/year) and one week in the Summer holidays.)

Salary:

Please call / e-mail to discuss further but will be very competitive based on experience
