Ark Victoria Academy is seeking to appoint an experienced School Nurse to join our pastoral team to support us in making a real difference to the life chances of our children.
As the School Nurse, you will provide students and staff with first aid support.

Our values mean a great deal to us and underpin all that we do, and so it is important that you champion Ark Victoria’s pledge of being Ambitious, Resilient and Kind as well as living by the Ark ethos and six pillars that enable us to achieve our mission.
As part of the Ark network, our staff benefit from strong links with the wider network; particularly with the other Ark schools in Birmingham.

As well as networking with colleagues in other Ark schools, our staff receive high quality training and support.
If you are ready to add further value to our school and to join a brilliant pastoral team, then you will find this job extremely rewarding.
About Ark Victoria Academy
Aim high, be brave, be kind, keep learning!
Ark Victoria Academy is a high performing school across all key stages, providing pupils with a unique journey in their education through the curriculum, personal development programme, student experience offer and the vast range of opportunities that we are able to provide as an all-through school. 82% of all grades awarded at GCSE 2022 are grade 4 and above, against a national figure of 73%. 72% of students gained a grade 4 or above for English and maths. At KS2 77% of pupils gained the expected standard in reading, writing and maths, against a national figure of 59%. Our Progress 8 score of +0.45 puts us in the top 15% of all schools in the country.
Whilst being a large school, we are able to retain a family feel, to nurture our pupils through their schooling and ensure that they leave us with the skills and qualifications necessary to continue their journey of life-long learning in a university or career of their choice.
It's for this reason that Ark Victoria Academy was judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in May 2019, with a strong emphasis on expert subject knowledge from our teachers, strong teaching and leadership and a focus on excellence for our students and staff.
