Reports to: Assistant Head, Pastoral

The successful candidate will lead on all aspects relating to First Aid and provide Medical Support to pupils at Blackheath Prep and, to some extent, the wider school community.

Blackheath Prep is an independent prep school for just over 370 boys and girls aged 3 to 11. Founded in 1996, it occupies a beautiful five-acre site close to Blackheath village. Its original Georgian and Victorian buildings have been extended and adapted to include large playgrounds and extensive playing fields, tennis courts and a Forest School area. In April 2023 we were delighted to announce our merger with Eltham College to form a new family of schools.

It is a remarkable school with outstanding facilities, a formidable track record in academic success and impressive achievements in Music, Sport, Drama and Art. Children go on to a range of independent and maintained secondary schools, with a large proportion being awarded academic scholarships at schools such as Eltham College Senior School, Alleyn’s, Colfe's, Dulwich College, James Allen’s Girls’ School, Sevenoaks School and City of London Schools and/or places at top Grammar schools such as Newstead Wood and St Olave’s.

Closing date: 8am on Monday 21 April 2025

Interviews will take place on Tuesday 29 April 2025

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Eltham College reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. Candidates will be assessed against relevant criteria only (i.e. skills, qualifications, abilities, experience).

Eltham College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants undergo enhanced child protection screening relevant to the post, including checks with past employers and the DBS.
