What the school offers its staff

Blenheim is a dynamic, exciting and supportive environment in which to work. The school opened in September 1997 with one year group and has grown to its current size of 1337 students on roll including over 200 in the Sixth Form. Blenheim is a mixed comprehensive and our reputation in the community is excellent. In 2019, Blenheim was characterised as a ‘good’ school following a Section 5 Ofsted inspection. Ofsted commented that the school had excellent capacity to continue improving. Blenheim converted to Academy Status in March 2012 and has developed many community and primary school links. Blenheim is a well–resourced school and is fortunate to have outstanding facilities. Together with a very supportive and well qualified governing body the school has invested significantly in several areas, not least in the appointment of high-quality practitioners and on-site infrastructure. Visitors often comment on the calm, purposeful learning environment that pervades. Blenheim sets high standards in terms of uniform with several ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations regarding behaviour and conduct, both in and out of the classroom. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what those of us who work at Blenheim see every day. As Blenheim students prepare to take up their place in society they are actively encouraged to become independent learners. Part of this process involves the integration of iPads across the curriculum; all teachers and 98% of students own one. Technological evolution is inevitable and this approach is key to ensuring that students develop attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The iPad complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of interactive and innovative resources both in and away fromschool.

Commitment to safeguarding

Blenheim High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Our Child Protection and Safeguarding policy along with our Equality policy can be found below. All successful candidates will be subject to DBS checks along with other relevant employment checks.

As a Store Manager at Booker, you’ll be free to use your skills to help our business grow. It’s an exciting opportunity to really let your talent shine. And best of all, it’s not just Booker that benefits. A big part of your role will be making sure we’re meeting customers’ needs, by building a rapport with local business owners, seeking them out and listening to what they want. From cafes, pubs, restaurants and caterers to retailers like corner shops and newsagents, you’ll help all kinds of businesses to thrive. And that’s a fantastic feeling.

Booker is no ordinary retailer. Our stores, or Business Centres as we refer to them, work mostly with local B2C customers, which means they have a positive impact in the towns and communities where they’re based.

Driven and disciplined with a keen eye for detail, you’ll be a natural multi-tasker who’s at home on the shop floor and in a broader fast-paced business that includes online and delivery services.

We are a young and growing day nursery that cares for children of all ages from 6 months to 8 years old. We’d love to hear from you if you’re a qualified and experienced room leader looking for a changer, or perhaps you’re a highly experienced nursery practitioner looking for a step up and into a setting that feels right for you.

What started out as childminding in 2014 just kept on growing. And in 2022 we became a fully fledged day nursery. Now with over 14 staff, we're looking for a Baby Room Leader to work with our experienced assistants.

Above all, we put children first. This is echoed in our staff code of conduct, and in everything we do. As we grow we're working hard to empower and enable our staff to do what they do best – play, love, teach and care for all those around them. We make sure no one is tied down with red tape, form filling or endless tick box exercises. Care and learning goes hand in hand with smiles, fun, play and laugher with us. We don't micro-manage so the role would suit someone who is a do-er, who is self motivated, enthusiastic and pro-active.

As our Baby Room Leader, you’ll float through nappy changes and food spills with grace. Your aura will emit a soothing glow, calming even the fussiest little bundles of joy. You’ll step into a realm of wide-eyed wonder and amazement. Your wand (okay, maybe it’s an iPad) will weave spells of organisation, kindness, and curiosity.

Here are some of the enchanting things you’ll be doing:

Spellbinding Leadership:

Organise and manage the day-to-day activities within the room

Supervise and support nursery practitioners, ensuring high-quality care and learning experiences

Lead by example, demonstrating positivity, professionalism and a caring attitude to all

Ensure each baby’s day is showered with stardust, and each sleep is bathed in moonlight


Care, Learning and Play:

From finding our first steps to finishing our first puzzle, you’ll create and oversee positive, warm, caring and safe relationships between babies and staff

Foster a love for learning through play, creativity, and exploration

Offer rich learning opportunities through play and playful teaching


Health, Safety and Wellbeing

Manage mealtimes with majesty, feed with a touch of fairy dust, toilet train with tales of nappies gone by, wipe noses with fluffy clouds, and clean hands with bubbles of joy

Maintain a safe and hygienic room

Conduct risk assessments and follow our health and safety policies and guidelines

Safeguard children, and have a sound working knowledge of the EYFS

Distribute warm hugs as needed (warning: side effects may include coos and giggles)


Communication

Communicate effectively with staff and parents alike, sharing insights into their baby’s day, celebrating their progress and achievements

Work co-operatively with other practitioners and assistant staff

Lead in planning and evaluating the nursery activities and routines

Share all of the magic and wonder of the week in your own baby room section of our newsletter


Training

We’re always learning (A is for acorn, B is for butterfly)...

As well as the required safeguarding and first aid training, we’ll offer lots of additional support from Surrey Early Years, The National Day Nursery Association, Parenta, and our other training providers.


Standard childcare recruitment practice applies, including following our safer recruitment policy and procedures, a DBS check, identity check, qualification check and we will kindly ask for two references.

What the school offers its staff

Blenheim is a dynamic, exciting and supportive environment in which to work. The school opened in September 1997 with one year group and has grown to its current size of 1337 students on roll including over 200 in the Sixth Form. Blenheim is a mixed comprehensive and our reputation in the community is excellent. In 2019, Blenheim was characterised as a ‘good’ school following a Section 5 Ofsted inspection. Ofsted commented that the school had excellent capacity to continue improving. Blenheim converted to Academy Status in March 2012 and has developed many community and primary school links. Blenheim is a well–resourced school and is fortunate to have outstanding facilities. Together with a very supportive and well qualified governing body the school has invested significantly in several areas, not least in the appointment of high-quality practitioners and on-site infrastructure. Visitors often comment on the calm, purposeful learning environment that pervades. Blenheim sets high standards in terms of uniform with several ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations regarding behaviour and conduct, both in and out of the classroom. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what those of us who work at Blenheim see every day. As Blenheim students prepare to take up their place in society they are actively encouraged to become independent learners. Part of this process involves the integration of iPads across the curriculum; all teachers and 98% of students own one. Technological evolution is inevitable and this approach is key to ensuring that students develop attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The iPad complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of interactive and innovative resources both in and away fromschool.

Commitment to safeguarding

Blenheim High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
