London, United Kingdom Westminster School Full time

Job Introduction
Westminster Under School is seeking two talented and enthusiastic Gap Year Students to work at the School from the beginning of September 2024 for the whole academic year until the end of term in the first week of July 2025 (term-time only). Consideration will also be given to applicants who wish to work at least two out of the three school terms.

Gap Students assist in all areas of the day-to-day running of the School, examples of which are outlined below and are essential in its smooth running. The successful applicant will report principally to the school Receptionist and be encouraged to take a full and active role in the curricular and extra-curricular activities which take place within the School.

Main Responsibilities
Typical, non-exhaustive, roles performed in this role are:

- Assist with pupil registration, including ensuring all pupils are accounted for and parents are contacted if pupils are not in school.
- Supervision of pupils during break and lunch times, engaging with them in a mature and positive way.
- Provide approximately six hours of games coaching/art/drama/music support per week across the School - particular strengths can usually be accommodated.
- Manage lost property on a daily and weekly basis.
- Assist with taking pupils to the Sports Centre for after-school ‘Extras’, including the local swimming pool and away matches, as well as for other extra-curricular activities.
- General assistance with the day-to-day running of the School, including assisting with the running of the Reception area.
- Provide administrative support for the Senior Management Team, teaching and Admin and Support staff, including photocopying and other support as necessary, such as refreshing display boards and resources for lessons.
- Involvement with extra-curricular activities, such as concerts and plays, at particular times of year.
- Assist and supervise pupils taking part in school trips as and when they take place, paying particular attention to the behaviour and safety of pupils.
- Provide low-level medical care for injuries and illness (training will be provided).
- Any other support reasonably requested by the Senior Management Team.

This role suits people who are confident, mature, self-directed and who enjoy working with and engaging with younger people - the role may be particularly beneficial for someone who is considering a career in education, though this is not essential.

Competence in the main Office software (Word, Excel, Outlook and similar) is a strong advantage.

**Hours of work**

Monday to Friday, term-time only (including all INSET training days). The exact daily hours of the role can vary but will be approximately eight hours between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm with a 30-minute lunch break.

**Salary**

£13.15 per hour. Voluntary additional activities, e.g., taking part in residential school trips, may be paid at a different, pre-agreed rate.

Lunch is provided at no additional cost each day.

Please refer to the attached person specification.

**Equal Opportunities**

**Safeguarding and Child Protection**

Westminster Under School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
