January 2024 Start Date

We are looking for an exceptional Medical, Health and Safety lead, to join our fantastic team of support staff. Within this role, you will be responsible for dealing with unwell or injured students, members of staff and visitors to the Academy, as well as ensuring the associated paperwork is completed in a timely manner. The successful candidate will be educated to NVQ Level 2 or equivalent and will ideally hold a First Aid at Work qualification. You will also be assisting the principal in the ongoing use of the Trust's Health and Safety Management System.

Bexleyheath Academy is proud to be a non-selective school in the grammar heartland of Kent. Bexleyheath Academy is quickly approaching capacity with students; in order to accommodate the demands of the local community and grow our skilled staff, we must expand.

With immediate train access to Central London and easy access to the Kent countryside, Bexleyheath has the best of both worlds. Despite having a Kent postcode, Bexleyheath is classified as Greater London due to its strategic location between Welling, Sidcup, and Bexley village. You can reach Dartford for the river crossing with a short drive along the A2

Its thriving hub is The Broadway - a shopping district with added appeal in the shape of a bowling alley, cinema and a growing number of restaurants. A little beyond Bexleyheath and you're at Bluewater, Ashford for the designer outlet and international rail travel to Europe.

When inspectors visited Bexleyheath Academy in July 2021, they said that the way in which pupils work in school has been "transformed", and that "there is a positive atmosphere in classes and around the school". Inspectors also said that the school "has completely changed" and have confirmed in their report that Bexleyheath Academy is officially a good school.
