Job overview
Cheltenham College is seeking to appoint a part-time Health Centre Administrator. The Health Centre is located at the centre of the College campus, putting it at the heart of both The Prep and College. The service was established to provide high quality, evidence-based healthcare with the aim of promoting lifelong physical and emotional well-being.
The purpose of the role is to greet, assist and direct patients, pupils (aged 3-18) and staff in a courteous, efficient and sympathetic way, either in person or via telephone. The post-holder will also undertake a variety of administrative duties to assist in the smooth running of the practice, supporting the team of Health Centre Staff, GPs, Nurses, Support Staff & Physiotherapists. The position is job-shared with another receptionist, and you would be working opposite each other with shared responsibilities.
This role would be best suited to somebody who enjoys the spontaneity and reward of working in a fast-paced environment and who is not fazed by the unexpected or having to set aside their to-do list in order to focus on any medical issues that may arise. Whilst there are many set tasks, there is no typical day, so being able to effectively multitask is crucial. One moment you might be dealing with a pupil-patient who has come in with an injury, whilst the telephone is ringing with patients wishing to book appointments, whilst ensuring patient records are accurately updated.
Due to the nature of the role, applicants should be able to: work under pressure, maintain high levels of confidentiality, stay motivated and demonstrate emotional intelligence when dealing with patients and pupil parents.
The position is Term-Time, plus an additional two weeks (35 weeks per year). The hours are 30 per week on a rota-basis and include alternating Saturdays during term time.
Further details of what the role entails can be found in the job description. And more information about the Health Centre can be found here.

About Cheltenham College
One of the country’s leading coeducational independent schools for both day and boarding pupils, Cheltenham College offers outstanding all round education for pupils from 3 to 18.
While the Senior School (13 – 18) enjoys its beautiful setting and impressive grounds on Cheltenham’s Bath Road, the adjacent Preparatory School ( 3-13) occupies over 15 acres of woodland splendour, with its own lake and numerous sports fields. The youngest children (3-7) enter the wonderfully vibrant pre-prep department called Kingfishers, which has its own cottage and classrooms within the school.
From the age of 3 right through to 18, pupils are immersed into a community that is not only full to the brim of opportunities but importantly, one that is warm, friendly and utterly inclusive. Pastoral care across both schools is consistently highlighted by parents as excellent and the College takes great pride in treating each and every child as an individual. Children therefore develop not only as learners but as independent, confident and responsible young people with a great many talents and skills. They have confidence to question, to challenge, to think.
The breadth of Cheltenham College’s amenities is reflected in the diversity of activities and clubs; the Preparatory School alone offers over 40 clubs, societies and sports. In the Senior School, no pupil can fail to be tempted by the numerous outdoor pursuits, expeditions, community service activities or Humanitarian Aid projects. Around 30 clubs operate weekly in the Senior School, including shooting, eco ventures, pottery and film-making.
A vast number of sports teams are nationally reputed and every year a substantial number of pupils are chosen to represent England. Music also plays a vital part in school life, with pupils able to learn just about every orchestral instrument imaginable as well as participating in numerous choirs, bands and ensembles. Both schools stage several plays a year, from whole school productions to year group performances, and the art and design work (often on display in Thirlestaine House, the College’s very own 19th century mansion and gallery) is quite literally breathtaking.
Crucially, this focus on balanced education also ensures that Cheltenham College gets the very best out of its pupils academically. In the Preparatory School, there is a 100% Common Entrance pass rate and many pupils gain Senior School scholarships. In College, the more stretching iGCSE is offered in Maths, English Literature, Science, History and Geography and over 95% of school leavers go on to their first choice university.
