About us
Aylesbury High School (AHS) is a forward-thinking girls’ grammar school that values both academic and pastoral excellence and co-curricular opportunities with the vision of developing uniquely talented young adults, who are independent, strong and confident
We create a welcoming environment which draws the very best from all in our community. Achieved by providing an ambitious education that stimulates creative and critical thinking, values diversity and facilitates dynamic personal development.
The AHS values are Boundless Aspiration, Resilient Bravery, Curious Engagement and Selfless Generosity and we want all our community to experience, develop and demonstrate these characteristics both within the curriculum and through our extensive co-curricular offering.
This is an important job, providing front-line care and support to students and adults on-site with their immediate medical needs.
A good level of discretion is required, making judgements about the treatment that each person requires, ranging from reassurance and first aid to calling the emergency services. Training will be given, including obtaining the First Aid at Work qualification, so it is not essential to have prior experience or qualifications, but empathy, the ability to take difficult decisions and a wish to provide the best possible support for 1300 students will be essential.
