An excellent opportunity has arisen for a nurse to join our medical centre. We are looking for an enthusiastic, experienced and flexible individual to join our team based in an independent prep school in Tunbridge Wells.

Holmewood House School is a flourishing co-educational independent day, weekly and full boarding school with 475 pupils from the ages of 3 -13 years old. Holmewood House is set in 32 acres of Kent countryside including its own woodland and is located on the outskirts of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

The successful candidate should be highly organised with good IT skills, particularly in Word and Excel.

We are looking for someone to start ideally after May half term but a September start date would be considered for the right candidate. We would highly recommend an informal visit to look around the medical centre and meet the medical centre team.
