School Nurse

ROLE SUMMARY:

Kings College School La Moraleja is seeking a dedicated School Nurse to provide professional health services that support the physical, mental and emotional well-being of our students and staff. The role focuses on high-quality healthcare, emergency response, chronic condition support, health education, accurate record-keeping, and contributing to a safe, healthy school environment. This is not a general medical practice role; parents remain responsible for seeking medical care for illnesses requiring treatment at home.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Provide outstanding medical care, including first aid, minor injury treatment, emergency response and support to first aiders.

• Maintain accurate medical records, accident logs and medication administration records.

• Manage first aid supplies, prepare medical kits for trips and liaise with emergency services when needed.

• Monitor and communicate students’ health needs, allergies and dietary requirements.

• Contribute to safeguarding procedures, raising concerns promptly and working closely with the DSL.

• Support health education across the school and advise on health policies and infection control.

• Coordinate Individual Healthcare Plans (IHCPs) for students with chronic conditions.

• Work collaboratively with teachers, parents and pastoral teams to promote student well-being.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

• Registered nursing qualifications and first aid certification.

• Experience working with children or in an educational setting (preferred).

• Strong emergency response skills and confidence managing chronic conditions (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, allergies).

• Excellent communication, confidentiality and record-keeping skills.

• A proactive, calm and compassionate approach, with the ability to work collaboratively across the school community.

• Up-to-date knowledge of safeguarding procedures and health regulations.
