Overview
Join to apply for the School Nursing Healthcare Support Worker role at Connect for Health.
About The Role: We’re looking for a School Nursing Healthcare Support Worker to join our Connect for Health team in Warwickshire — a school nurse-led service supporting children, young people and families to live healthier, happier lives. You’ll work directly in schools and communities, delivering vital parts of the Healthy Child Programme, including the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and Health Needs Assessments (HNA).
You’ll run classroom sessions, support community events, and help young people understand their health, feel heard and stay safe. You’ll support the Health Champion network, promote health messages, respond to day-to-day enquiries and use IT systems confidently to collect accurate data. Whether working alone or as part of a team, you’ll play a key role in shaping better health outcomes.
Requirements: You must hold a full driving licence, have access to your own transport and be able to travel across Warwickshire. This role is term time only, working Monday to Thursday during Warwickshire school terms, taking leave during school holidays.
Support and values: This is a service that believes in people. We’ll invest in your development, support your wellbeing and help you feel part of something bigger. Apply now and be the reason a child or young person gets the right start.
About You
Are you someone who brings warmth, care and purpose to everything you do? Do you want your work to reflect your values and make a difference for children every day?
You’ll be calm under pressure, naturally empathetic and confident working with children, families and professionals. Whether delivering in a school hall or one-to-one with a pupil, you know how to listen, engage and make young people feel safe.
To join us, you will need:
* NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care
* Experience working with children, young people or families
* Confidence using IT systems for data collection and communication
* A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
* Ability to work independently and as part of a team
* Commitment to safeguarding, inclusion and doing the right thing
An NVQ Level 3 and experience in community or school health settings would be a bonus, but we care more about who you are and how you show up.
Bring your values, your voice, and your commitment to a team that puts people first.
