We currently have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Student Support Assistant for First Aid to join the Pastoral team within St George’s Academy. The role will be primarily based on our Sleaford Campus but may work across both our Sleaford and Ruskington campuses.
Working under the supervision and direction of the Student Support Lead for First Aid, you will be responsible for the provision of a front-line service to students and staff with medical conditions and those who become unwell or are injured during the school day.
Duties will include administering emergency/non-emergency first aid, liaising with parents/carers and staff, arranging transfer to home or hospital where appropriate and supporting the safe storage/issuing of student medication. Working as part of the Pastoral team, the post holder will also play a key role in the early identification of any potential safeguarding concerns.
We are seeking an organised and enthusiastic person who has good communication and IT skills and experience of working with young people.
The ideal candidate will also hold a First Aid at Work Certificate and a minimum of 2 GCSE’s to include English and Maths from grade 9-4 (A*-C), or equivalent or be able to demonstrate a willingness to work towards achieving these qualifications. Previous nursing experience would be an advantage but is not considered essential.
