About the role:

We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and reliable Lunchtime Supervisor to join our outstanding team at Wilson Stuart School. This is a rewarding opportunity to play an important role in our pupils' day by helping to create a safe, positive and enjoyable lunchtime experience. Working closely with our pupils, you will support them during mealtimes, encourage independence, assist with feeding where required, and help pupils engage in social and recreational activities both indoors and outdoors. You will also provide pastoral support and contribute to the high standard of care and wellbeing for which the school is known. Our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for individuals who are patient, nurturing and committed to making a difference. Previous experience is welcome but not essential, as full training and support will be provided.

If you enjoy working as part of a friendly team and would like a role where every day is rewarding, we would love to hear from you.

We can offer:

• A collaborative and inclusive culture that values every employee.
• A committed, hardworking team who strive to provide the best education for all students.
• Comprehensive induction and probation support and regular opportunities for professional development and growth.
• 10 staff training days across the academic year; one or two of these days may be aggregated which means completing training outside of normal working hours in twilight sessions.
• An Employee Assistance Programme via the BHSF App – including free totally confidential support, access to a GP 24/7 and counselling.
• Access to discounts and offers at many well-known retailers and other organisations via the BHSF App.
• Access to a generous pension scheme known as the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) for support staff or Teachers Pension Scheme (TPS) for Teachers.
• Generous annual leave entitlement for support staff based on length of service, starting at 29 days pro-rata, rising to 32 at 5 years’ plus service and 34 following 10 years’ plus service.
• Family friendly policies.
• Onsite parking at all sites.
• We are the only Trust to provide SEN Allowances to ALL roles who work with students, including Teachers, TA’s, Care Assistants, Pastoral Care, Guides and Drivers.

The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students and expects all staff to share this commitment. Successful candidates will be subject to all necessary pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS, Childcare Disqualification (where applicable), qualifications, medical fitness, identity and right to work. All applicants will be required to provide two suitable references. An online search (and a prohibition check for teachers) will also be carried out as part of due diligence on all short-listed candidates. All successful candidates will be required to present their birth certificate along with evidence of any changes.
