We are looking for a Bank Matron to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing temporary cover when Matrons are absent to ensure the welfare and well-being of students and the smooth running of the domestic arrangements in Houses; this includes liaising with a Cleaning Supervisor and being prepared to be the "responsible adult" presence in the House. The successful candidate may also be requested to escort students to medical appointments or to A&E.
This is a casual contract, and the post will be filled on a voluntary basis with the hours the post holder is likely to be available up to 7 days a week on days/times being agreed. We have a particular need for cover from 7.30am to 6pm Monday-Friday and on Saturdays, with occasional need for evening or Sunday cover. Given the uncertain nature of any absences no guarantee of the amount of work available in any given month can be given. Ideally, the candidate will need to live within easy reach of the School so they can provide cover at short notice, if necessary.
Applicants will need to be able to build excellent relationships with young people, be supportive and caring. The post also calls for good organisational skills, IT literacy, the ability to remain calm under pressure and a flexible approach to duties. A first aid qualification is desirable but not essential as we can provide training, but a full driving licence is essential.
