Midday Supervisor job summary

Are you calm, caring, and great with children? We’re looking for Midday Supervisors to join our team at Howitt Primary Community School, part of Embark Federation.

As a Midday Supervisor, you’ll help ensure our children are safe, supported, and happy during their lunchtime break. Whether you’re supervising play, helping in the dining area, or offering a listening ear, your presence makes a big difference to our school community.

This is a term-time, part-time role — perfect for someone who enjoys working with children and wants to contribute to a warm and inclusive school environment. The role will primarily be based in key stage 1 but there may be occasions to support midday supervisors in key stage 2. The working hours will be 11.30am - 13.10pm Monday to Friday during term time only.

What you’ll do:

• Supervise pupils inside and outside during lunch breaks

• Support safe and positive play and social interaction

• Help manage queues and dining areas calmly and fairly

• Respond to minor incidents and know when to seek help

• Promote our values and inclusive culture at all times

What we’re looking for:

• Someone positive, calm, and fair

• Good communication with children and adults

• Experience with children is desirable

• Flexibility and a strong sense of responsibility

Basic First Aid training is desirable but not essential — we can help with this.

Why Join Embark?

We are a family of stand-out schools where every child and adult is seen, known and valued. Our people make the difference and we’re proud to offer:

• A supportive and caring working environment with a full staff benefits offer

• A strong team culture and leadership that listens

• Ongoing training and flexible, family-friendly working
