Lunch Time Supervisor

About this Role

Are you caring, approachable and passionate about helping children have a happy and positive experience at school?

We are looking for a friendly and enthusiastic Lunchtime Supervisor to join our team and help create a safe, welcoming and enjoyable lunchtime environment for our pupils.

This is an important role within our Academy. You will help ensure that children feel supported, included and safe, while encouraging positive behaviour, good manners and opportunities to play, socialise and develop friendships.

• Provide pastoral support and encourage kindness, good behaviour, self-discipline, good manners and mutual respect.
• Positively challenge inappropriate behaviour and ensure any concerns are reported in line with Academy procedures.
• Remain vigilant to the wellbeing of pupils and report any safeguarding concerns promptly through the appropriate Academy procedures.
• Play an important part in supporting the safety, welfare and wellbeing of all pupils.

About You

You do not necessarily need previous experience. A positive attitude and the ability to build warm, professional relationships with children are just as important.

We are looking for someone who:

• Enjoys working with children and wants to make a positive difference to their school day.
• Is caring, patient and approachable.
• Can encourage positive behaviour and model high standards.
• Is confident working as part of a team.
• Is reliable, responsible and able to use their initiative.

• Shares our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where every pupil feels safe, valued and supported.

What We Offer

In return, you will join a welcoming and supportive Academy community and have access to opportunities for learning and development, including a Level 2 Health & Hygiene course.

If you are looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to children every day, we would love to hear from you.
