Lunchtime Supervisor

Our children's daily lunchtimes are crucial to their personal development. We work with them to establish their understanding of nutrition and how this develops their wellbeing. Along with this, we run a range of activities, which you would need to be prepared to lead, to develop our children's characteristics of the IB Learner Profile.

As the roles are part-time during term time, it is ideal for those of you seeking work opportunities during school hours. Being able to communicate effectively with children and adults is essential, together with a friendly and approachable manner.

This is a part time opportunity offering an actual salary of £3,415 per annum (£20,103 full time equivalent) based on 7.5 hours per week (12.00-13.30 Mon-Fri), Term Time only.
