Main responsibilities are supporting children in the hall whilst eating their lunch. There may also be some opportunities to support outside play.
As a large and ever growing school, St Matthew’s can offer you a team to work in, whilst also recognising that you will have experience and skills to share with us.
Whilst St Matthew’s is a large primary school, it has a calm, personal and happy atmosphere. We are a big school with small community habits and pride ourselves on everyone’s personal, academic and professional well-being and this is a cornerstone of our ethos. The sense of being in an ambitious, supportive family is often commented on by children, parents, staff and visitors alike.
What do you ask from you?

What we will give you in return:
An SLT team who are active in the school and not afraid to get stuck in

As well as your usual: CPD etc.
So if you are looking to start your career in school, this is a wonderful opportunity to start work in a school, many of our previous MDSA’s have gone on to become Teaching Assistants in school.
Or maybe you are winding down to retire and still want to work a few hours a week.
Whatever your situation, we’d love to hear from you, so apply now and take the next step to becoming part of our St Matthew’s team.
This role is for 1 hour per week between the hours of 11:30am-1:30pm, term time only on a fixed term contract to 31st August 2025 initially.

St Matthew’s Primary School is a popular, oversubscribed and happy school full of enthusiastic and well behaved children eager to have fun learning. We are a well-resourced and energetic school which is well supported by parents, governors and the wider community.
Alongside our mainstream provision we host a Behaviour Provision on behalf of the Central Area Partnership (CAP), made up of nine schools.This provision supports children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs that can make full time mainstream education difficult for them. The aim of the provision is to provide an environment, pastoral and educational experience that keeps them moving forward in their learning but focuses specifically on their personal, social and emotional development.
