Helping children enjoy and thrive at lunchtime

We are looking to appoint a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Midday Supervisor to join our friendly team. This is an important role within our school community, helping to ensure that lunchtime is a safe, happy and positive experience for all children.

As a Midday Supervisor, you will support pupils during lunch, encourage positive play, promote good behaviour and ensure the wellbeing and safety of children at all times. You will help create a calm and enjoyable environment where children feel secure, included and ready to return to learning.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and values being part of a supportive and collaborative school team.

We’re looking for someone who is:

·       Warm, approachable and patient

·       Calm and confident in managing groups of children

·       Observant and proactive about safety

·       Fair, consistent and positive in their approach

·       Able to work well as part of a team

·       Reliable and punctual

Experience of working with primary-aged children is desirable but not essential. A willingness to learn and a positive attitude are just as important.

Key responsibilities:

·       Supervising pupils in the dining hall, playground and other areas of the school site

·       Promoting positive behaviour in line with school policies

·       Supporting children with social interaction and play

·       Encouraging healthy eating and good table manners

·       Responding to minor first aid needs (training can be provided)

·       Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all pupils during the lunchtime period

·       Communicating effectively with colleagues to ensure smooth transitions back to class 

In return, we offer:

·       A supportive, friendly team and inclusive school culture

·       A positive, purposeful working environment

·       Ongoing professional development tailored to your growth

·       The opportunity to make a meaningful difference every day

·       A Federation-wide ethos of collaboration and care
