We are looking for an enthusiastic, friendly and hardworking MSA to join our team and help with the supervision of our fantastic children at lunchtimes. The role involves taking an active part in supervising and managing outside play and promoting good relationships with positive behaviour. The working hours are Monday – Friday, between 11.55am – 1.10pm.

You must:

• Be kind, firm and fair
• Be approachable
• Be calm and patient
• Understand and respect confidentiality

Experience of working with children in either a paid or voluntary setting would be an advantage but is not essential; training will be given but a genuine love of working with children is!

Duties include:

• Setting up and clearing away furniture for lunchtime (some lifting of tables and benches)
• Supervising children eating their lunch
• Providing play activities and/or supervising free play on the playground

Being an MSA allows you to really get to know our school and has been the starting point for many of our teaching/classroom assistants. 

We have wonderfully enthusiastic children with a stimulating and creative curriculum with a good record of academic achievement.
