Description

We have an opportunity for a Relief Matron to provide a seamless service to the pupils in our Houses, when the resident Matron is not present.

the Role:

Working under the direction of the Housemaster/Mistress, you will supervise and provide care for the pupils, ensuring their physical, social and emotional well-being.

Relief Matrons are encouraged to attend House events and to become involved in the life of the School.

You will have a lot of interaction with the pupils - this can involve anything from helping with medical needs, encouraging the pupils to tidy up after themselves, or just gently ribbing them (or being ribbed) about funny things that happen.

A sense of humour is a must

The School will ensure you are fully trained and supported to enable you to perform your role with confidence and to the best of your ability.

Every member of staff at Oundle School is thoroughly committed to ensuring pupils have all the pastoral support they need and this creates a wonderful atmosphere to work in.

The School has a fully staffed Health Centre; therefore, the Relief Matron will not be required to have any formal medical or nursing qualifications.

However, all Relief Matrons are required to have a current First Aid qualification, which the School will provide training for if you do not hold this.

THE SCHOOL:

Oundle and Laxton Junior Schools have long been associated with the very best of modern independent education, especially boarding.

The Schools take seriously their responsibility to pupils so that they can emerge as decent, open-minded adults; ambitious about what they can go on to achieve and contribute.

Over 1400 pupils are on roll at the School, of whom 840 are full boarders. Academic results are steadfastly excellent.

A team of around 800 staff, both academic and support, ensure an education of the highest standard is in place across the Schools with the efforts of the whole team focused on this fundamental aim.

Living in Oundle:

We are fortunate in our location at the heart of a beautiful market town.

School and town are part of the same community and our pupils take their place within this community, not isolated from it.

The town has a spirited cultural life, with an annual international festival, literature festival, and frequent performances of nationally touring shows at the School's Stahl Theatre.

THE DETAILS:

The working hours for this role are as follows:
Generally, Relief Matrons are on duty for a 30 hour relief period starting at 7.30am.

Hours of work vary depending on the needs of the House, but are generally between 11 and 16 active hours working in the boarding House with the remaining hours on standby.
