Midday Assistant job summary

We have 2 opportunities for someone to join our Lunchtime Team, here at Stephen Freeman School. 1 x 5 days a week position and 1 x 2 days per week position, both positions start at 11.30am - 1.00pm.

In your day-to-day duties you could:

  • help children cut up their food, if needed
  • encourage good behaviour and table manners
  • supervise children in the playground (or indoors if wet weather)
  • comfort children who are upset
  • deal with minor injuries like cuts, grazes and bruises
  • organise games indoors/outside

The role of a Midday Assistant is to supervise the children, supporting them with eating appropriately, ensuring drinks are provided and helping with the social skills of sharing lunchtime with peers. The clearing up of spillages, wiping of tables and support of children wiping trays etc. and the leaving of the dining area in a clean and tidy condition form part of the duties, but come second to supervision.

When the weather is suitable, children may play on the fenced playground/field area as appropriate and part of your role will be to engage with students and ensure their welfare whilst on their lunch break, in line with Health and Safety policy/procedures, Fire Safety policy and Safeguarding policy/procedures. All necessary training will be provided. All incidents dealt with should be reported to class teachers at the end of lunchtime, unless very serious (verbal/physical aggression) when the Head should be called immediately.

The successful applicants will be required to undertake DBS Checks, in line with Safer Recruitment Legislation, as well as having general online information searches completed.
