Play team job summary

OPAL play team member facilitating play at lunchtime working Monday - Friday 11.30am-1.30pm term time only plus 1 week.

We are looking for a calm and caring person, who enjoys working with children, to join our OPAL play team. The duties will involve setting up/clearing away the dining tables, and supervision and support of children during the lunchtime period, in all areas of the school, including the dining hall and outdoor play areas.

OPAL's Vision:

'At OPAL we have seen just how much of an impact improving play can make to a school. We are not just talking about playtimes being a bit less bother or about children being a bit happier. We are talking about cultural transformation.

When you address a need that is so fundamental to children's physical and mental well-being as play, and you do it well, it is impossible to think of how you ran a school and didn’t do this.

Our vision is that every child in every school has an amazing hour of high-quality play every day – with no exceptions. If one child is not enjoying playtimes, then things still need improving.

This role will be temporary with a view to it moving permanent next academic year.
