About This Role
We are pleased to be further strengthening our School Health Centre by introducing a new nursing structure, creating new opportunities to support both staff and pupils more effectively. As part of this development, we are now recruiting for an additional School Nurse. This role will provide vital day-to-day clinical support within the Health Centre, enabling our nursing team to focus on delivering high-quality care, early intervention, and strategic health promotion. Together, these changes will improve capacity, enhance continuity of care, and ensure our service remains responsive, proactive, and centred on the needs of our school community.
The Role
At Uppingham, being a School Nurse, no two days look the same. You might begin the morning with a triage clinic, spend the afternoon delivering a health education session in a boarding house, and end the day supporting a pupil with a long-term condition through a difficult patch. You will work across the full breadth of adolescent health, from minor injuries and illness to mental wellbeing, safeguarding, immunisation, and everything in between. Crucially, you will do it for the same young people, term after term. You will know them by name, understand their histories, and build the kind of trusted relationships that make genuinely good nursing possible.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As part of a dedicated and supportive Health Centre team, you will deliver high-quality, compassionate care in line with NMC standards, contribute to health promotion across the school community, and play an active role in the pastoral life of a school that puts the wellbeing of its pupils at the very heart of everything it does.
About You
You will be a Registered Nurse with current NMC registration and a genuine enthusiasm for working with young people. You bring clinical confidence, sound professional judgement, and a warm, approachable manner. You are calm under pressure, organised in your practice, and committed to the kind of holistic, relationship-centred care that makes a boarding school nursing role so distinctive. Experience in a school or community setting is welcome, though not essential.
Please note that this role is for 36 hours per week, 33 weeks per year, and operates on a four-week rolling rota. The shift pattern includes a combination of early, late, long day, and night shifts.
