Kirklees Council are advertising this role on behalf of King James School.
We are seeking to appoint a compassionate and organised Medical Officer to join our busy pastoral team. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing first aid in school for sick and injured students and staff, assisting in ensuring the health, safety, and wellbeing of our students.
Excellent communication skills are essential for this role as you will need to liaise with students, parents/carers, and other staff on a daily basis. You will be able to demonstrate initiative, enthusiasm, and flexibility in your approach. The ideal candidate will be a current First Aider who has worked in a similar role.
This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated and ambitious colleague to join our school. We are proud to be one of the highest attaining 11-16 comprehensive schools in Kirklees and are regularly heavily oversubscribed. The school serves a suburban area and several villages to the south and east of Huddersfield.
We are a Single Academy Trust, having converted in September 2012. We were awarded ‘Good’ in our November 2019 inspection and consistently achieve excellent grades at GCSE. We have a strong and committed staff who are proud to work here.
‘The King James’s Way’ sets out the values and commitments which lie at the centre of everything we do. Though we are proud of our academic success, we are equally proud of our inclusive approach and first-class, wraparound pastoral care.
At King James’s School, we are proud of our inclusive and supportive working environment. As an organisation that values and nurtures talent, we are committed to helping you fulfil your potential. With a comprehensive training and development programme tailored to your needs and the requirements of the school, we will enable you to flourish in your role and perform to the very best of your abilities.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. All staff will be subject to an enhanced DBS check. This post involves direct contact with children and is considered to be a regulated activity. This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974, so most criminal convictions must be disclosed.
