Midday Supervisor - KS1

6.25 hours a week

11.15 - 12.30 Grade 4 point 5 actual salary £3,700

Help make lunchtime a happy, safe part of the school day.

Are you warm, positive and confident around young children? Battling Brook Primary School is looking for a caring Midday Supervisor to support our Key Stage 1 pupils in the dining hall.

You’ll help children enjoy their lunch, encourage them to eat, and make sure the dining hall is a calm, welcoming and safe place for everyone. A friendly word, a little reassurance or a helping hand can make a real difference to a young pupil’s day.

What you’ll do

• Welcome and supervise KS1 pupils in the dining hall.

• Encourage pupils to eat their lunch and let the class teacher know if a child is not eating or you have any concerns.

• Help pupils move in and out of the hall safely and calmly.

• Support good table manners, independence and respectful behaviour.

• Stay alert to pupils’ wellbeing, dietary needs and safety.

• Work positively with colleagues to create a happy lunchtime for all.

The person we’re looking for

You’ll be patient, dependable and attentive, with a kind but confident approach. You’ll enjoy helping young children feel comfortable and safe, and understand the importance of following school procedures and sharing concerns with the right staff.

Our school values Equality, Active Learning, Community, Health and Happiness, and our rules are Ready, Respect and Safe. If you share these values and want to play a part in making lunchtime a positive experience for our youngest pupils, we’d love to hear from you.

For safer recruitment purposes we will only accept fully completed application forms. CVs and resumes will not be considered. Strong applications may be considered upon receipt and before the closing date.
