Midday Supervisor job summary

Southfield School is a SEN Primary setting, and due to the demand for SEN spaces for this age group, we are finding ourselves rapidly growing with a huge waiting list.

Southfield not just cares about the children, but about the staff too, making it a great place to work. We have a bright and spacious comfortable break out area for our teachers and support staff, dedicated large PPA room, and a fully equipped functioning kitchen too.

By providing a positive work environment brings out the best in our teachers. We support training, career development, and your passions.

You’ll get free parking, free hot drinks, ongoing support, and a great team. Read on to find out more about the role itself.

Due to expansion, we are looking to recruit a Midday Supervisor. Your role will be every day, two hours a day, to support the busiest, but most fun time of the school day. Children are at the heart of this role, so someone who is comfortable assisting with children doing physical tasks is going to be a great fit. The ideal candidate will have an enthusiasm for play, and who are willing to use their initiative to make the lunch break fun, enjoyable and safe for our children.

The role will involve working as part of an established skilled team to support pupils with complex learning difficulties. It will involve supervising children in their outside play and in the dining room, promoting social and self-help skills. Some pupils will also require support with their personal care.

Experience of working with children with SEN would be an advantage as would a first aid qualification but is not essential as we will offer training. You will be required to attend training sessions / days when necessary to ensure pupils receive the highest quality care and support.

The school is committed to safeguarding children and young people.

This role is working a couple hours a day, totalling 7.5 hours a week, term time only.

We would welcome the opportunity to invite you to visit our School, and meet our friendly staff, as well as our amazing children. To arrange, please call the School Office on 01707 276 504 to make an appointment with our Headteacher.
