Midday Meals Supervisor job summary

We are seeking to appoint a Midday Meals Supervisor to join our friendly and dedicated team on a permanent basis.

Working as part of the lunchtime team, you will play an important role in ensuring that our pupils have a safe, happy and enjoyable lunchtime experience. You will supervisor children in the dining hall and playground, encourage positive behaviour and healthy eating, and support children through play and social interaction.

The hours of work are Monday to Friday 11.50am to 13.10pm, term time only. Applications from candidates wishing to work fewer days per week may also be considered.

We can offer:

• Friendly, articulate and enthusiastic children who are eager to learn
• A creative, positive and supportive staff team
• A welcoming school community with supportive parents
• Opportunities for professional development and training
• A well-resourced school with excellent outdoor learning opportunities
• The opportunity to make a genuine difference to children's daily experiences
