Lunchtime supervisor/MSA/Play Leader (1 hour per day) job summary

We are looking for an MSA to join our team to run a 20/20/20 lunch group. This is a group for a small group of children to support them with lunchtime by running three activities:

Children will spend 20 minutes eating in the dining room with their friends, followed by 20 minutes of indoor play and then 20 minutes outside in the playground. This is a new initiative for us and we want this to be a club that children look forward to and helps them to have positive lunchtimes.

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys interacting with children and having fun with them. The working hours are 12pm-1pm daily and the first task will be to work alongside the children to generate a name for the club. We want it to be a club that they not only feel they belong to but that also belongs to them.

No previous experience is required, full training will be offered. The role is subject to references and a DBS check. We are looking for someone with enthusiasm and energy to enhance the lunchtimes for a group of children.

Please contact the school to arrange a tour. Tours will be taking place on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th June.
