  • Supervise children in the dining hall and playground during lunch
  • Support pupils with eating, social interactions and positive behaviour
  • Encourage healthy choices and good table manners
  • Help set up and clear away dining areas
  • Be a caring, approachable adult in the busy heart of school life.

We offer

  • A role where your work really matters - make a meaningful impact on children’s wellbeing every day
  • A rewarding role in a positive environment
  • The opportunity to work in a team who are invested in growing the potential of others
  • Competitive package with generous career average pension scheme with employer contributions of 2%
