Abingdon School is seeking to appoint a caring and committed candidate to join our small and friendly team in providing a first class healthcare service to the School’s pupils. This is a part-time post working 18 hours per week on a shift basis which includes weekends and overnight during term time only (34 weeks per year) to commence as soon as possible after 1 September 2025. This appointment will initially be on a six month, fixed term contract basis, though this appointment may be extended by mutual agreement.

The School Health Centre is staffed between the hours of 7.45am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm on Saturdays (summer term 10.00am to 2.00pm) with an on-call service provision at all other times including Sundays and overnight. The Health Centre provides flexibility for staff interested in taking on more overnight or weekend shifts. Additionally, there are opportunities to provide first aid cover for sports matches during the Michaelmas and Lent terms.

Experience working with adolescents or in a healthcare setting is highly desirable but not essential.

The School offers a range of generous benefits including up to 14.1% employer pension contribution, private healthcare insurance, free use of leisure facilities with discounted exercise classes and free lunch during term time.

We recognise the value of a diverse and inclusive workplace and are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and job applicants. We aim to ensure that our staffing at all levels and in all roles is diverse and we welcome applications from all backgrounds and all sections of the community.
