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.
