Gap Student Welcome from the Head Thank you for your interest in King’s House School. I am very proud of our staff here at KHS, and we are a friendly and caring school with a strong sense of community, where pupils can thrive and flourish. The pastoral aspect of school life is at the heart of everything we do, and we pride ourselves on providing an inclusive environment that is both nurturing and challenging. I am proud of the supportive and collaborative culture at King’s House, which helps staff and pupils to be the best they can be. It is a joy to watch our pupils grow into confident young people, ambassadors for King’s House when they leave us at 13+ to go onto a wide range of day and boarding Senior Schools. We value a broad and balanced academic education, enabling our pupils to develop their academic, social, sporting, emotional and artistic attributes. We are committed to recruiting excellent staff across our teaching and non-teaching departments and King’s House School Enterprises, with the opportunity to develop careers. You will be joining the school at an exciting time, when we are investing in our facilities to ensure an inspiring education for students for many years to come. In September 2024, the school moved to coeducation with girls currently in over half of our year groups. I hope this provides you with a flavour of what life is like at King’s House School, with a staff team who develop enthusiastic young people who can be relied upon to make a positive contribution in all areas of school life. Mark Turner Head 2 rooms, two science laboratories, a new design technology room and music area. There are three forms in each year group. Forms are mixed-ability in Years 4 - 6 with some subjects setted, and streamed in Years 7 and 8. Pupils experience increasing exposure to subject specialist teachers, who will teach a range of year groups and sometimes more than one subject. The curriculum the pupils follow prepares them for Common Entrance at the end of Year 8. Throughout their time at King’s House, the pupils are encouraged to take part in art, drama, music and sporting activities. There are productions every year for all year groups, concerts and many more performance opportunities for music, as well as numerous games fixtures and sporting activities. There are also outings for all years to enrich the curriculum, and from Year 3 residential trips in the summer term. King’s House offers its pupils a broad and balanced curriculum and prepares them well for their transition on to their next school. We cherish each pupil as an individual and provide them with the skills and mental resilience to succeed in whatever path they choose to take. Small class sizes means that we can get to know each child and identify their unique strengths, interests and passions. King’s House School King’s House School was founded in Richmond in 1946 and has been a boys’ prep school since then until September 2024, when girls joined for the first time as we move to co-education. The school operates on three sites in or around Kings Road, which is on the very pleasant setting of Richmond Hill. The Senior Department (for pupils from Year 4 to Year 8) is at 68 Kings Road, the Junior Department on its own site just down the hill, and the Nursery around the corner on Princes Road. The school also has a 35-acre sports ground just over Barnes Bridge, where there are numerous pitches, athletics facilities, cricket nets, tennis courts, two 3G pitches and all-weather pitch. All children in the Nursery are guaranteed a place in Reception, and there are also small intakes at Years 3, 4 and 7. Pupils generally stay until 13 when they move on to a wide range of single-sex, co-ed, day and boarding schools, with a number each year gaining scholarships. The Nursery operates from its own site in a carefully restored building on Princes Road. The youngest children, in Hedgehog Class (rising 3s), are based on the top floor and Squirrels and Rabbits Class (rising 4s) on the ground floor. There is a very positive, caring atmosphere to the Nursery, and the ground floor has an additional Woodland Library also used for small group activities and specialist teaching. The Nursery has its own dedicated staff supplemented with specialists from the school PE, Music, Drama and Copmuting departments. The Junior Department (JD) is housed in two Victorian buildings which have been sensitively redesigned and linked to provide an exciting and stimulating environment for the pupils. There is a two-form entry to Reception with about forty children in the year group. This number grows to about 48 in Year 3 with three forms. The class teachers deliver the vast majority of the curriculum, but pupils do have lessons with specialist teachers for Music, languages, PE and Games and Computing.

Functional Consultant
Our vision is for safe and effective nursing and midwifery practice across the four countries of the UK – regulated and supported by the NMC – a fit for the future organisation, with fairness and equity at the heart of everything we do.
Our role is to protect the public and maintain confidence in the nursing and midwifery professions. As the largest independent regulator in Europe of more than 860,000 nursing and midwifery professionals, we have a crucial role in making this a reality.
We do this by setting and promoting high education and professional standards for all future and registered nurses and midwives in the UK and nursing associates in England.
We also ensure every nurse, midwife and nursing associate on our Register meets clear standards of conduct and practice which protects the public and the reputation of our professions.
We have a duty to investigate concerns and to take steps to protect the public in the relatively rare instances where we need to limit or restrict a nurse, midwife or nursing associate’s right to practise.
We are building a new NMC with integrity, fairness, respect, equity and effectiveness at its core.
We are determined to improve and modernise our culture and ways of working. This will ensure that the public and professionals feel confident in our work.
About the team and what we do
The Digital Services Team sits within the NMC’s Information Technology department and delivers the digital platforms and services that enable the organisation to carry out its regulatory role effectively.

In this role, you’ll bridge business needs with technical solutions, translating complex requirements into clear, high-quality functional designs on the Microsoft Power Platform. You’ll lead on requirements gathering, working directly with stakeholders to understand business processes, identify opportunities for improvement and shape solutions that make a tangible difference to how teams work.
You’ll design and configure solutions using Power Apps (Model-driven and Canvas), Power Automate, Power Pages and Dataverse, working closely with solution and technical architects and developers throughout the delivery lifecycle. From initial concept through to testing, user acceptance and go-live, you’ll provide functional expertise and guidance to ensure solutions are effective, scalable and fit for purpose.
A key part of your impact will be setting standards for functional design, championing best practice and quality across both agile and waterfall delivery. Through your work, you’ll help ensure that Power Platform solutions are consistent, reusable and aligned with enterprise architecture and governance.
You’ll bring strong experience with Microsoft Power Platform and Dynamics 365, along with the ability to analyse business processes and turn them into well-designed, user-focused solutions. You’re comfortable working across functional and technical boundaries and can communicate confidently with both business stakeholders and delivery teams.
You’ll have a proactive, improvement-focused mindset, always looking for ways to simplify, streamline and enhance how solutions are designed and delivered. You’re organised, adaptable and able to navigate ambiguity, balancing competing views while keeping outcomes and quality firmly in focus.
Above all, you’ll bring a collaborative approach and a commitment to learning and sharing knowledge, helping to strengthen capability across the organisation while contributing to solutions that support the NMC’s purpose and values.

Love nature and people? Join us as a Visitor Engager at WWT Slimbridge.
As a Visitor Engager, you’ll be out in the heart of the Wetland Centre, welcoming visitors and helping them connect with the amazing world of wetlands. From bringing conservation stories to life at our Arctic Adventure and Mission Possible exhibits, to inspiring families with hands-on activities and talks, this is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same.
You’ll help visitors discover incredible wetland species, support unforgettable experiences for all ages, and play a key part in sharing WWT’s vital conservation work. If you enjoy being outdoors, engaging with the public, and inspiring others through nature, this role could be for you.
We are particularly looking for people available to help on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately this role is not available for Under 18's.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll roam some of the most exciting exhibits around the centre, welcoming visitors, answering questions and helping them get the most from their visit. By sharing your knowledge of wetland species and seasonal highlights, using hands-on props and guides, and supporting family-friendly activities during events and school holidays, you’ll help bring WWT’s conservation work to life.
Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team. You'll get a warm welcome, including information on training, equipment and anything else you need.
If you are interested in volunteering for WWT but don't wish to apply online, please email volunteering@wwt.org.uk or leave a message at 01453 891 231 with your name and number.

We will begin contacting applicants for this role in the New Year as we are very busy delivering our seasonal events over the festive period.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll play a vital role in creating memorable, meaningful experiences for our visitors, helping to inspire a lasting connection with wetlands and wildlife. As part of a small, friendly and supportive team, you’ll receive all the training you need to feel confident and valued in the role.
You’ll spend time outdoors in beautiful natural surroundings, tuning into the rhythm of the seasons - an experience proven to boost wellbeing, reduce stress and lift your mood. Along the way, you’ll develop a wide range of new, transferable skills, with every day bringing something different and rewarding.
Most importantly, you’ll be making a real and tangible contribution to wetland conservation by encouraging others to care for nature and our planet.
Is this role right for you?
This role is ideal if you enjoy meeting new people and feel confident chatting with visitors of all ages, from curious children to enthusiastic adults. If you have a friendly, outgoing approach, a passion for nature and learning, and enjoy creating positive experiences for visitors, you’ll fit right in.
We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.
