Midday Supervisor

Walton Holymoorside Primary School is situated in a pleasant and attractive environment, with extensive grounds and a relatively new school building. It benefits from a helpful and active Parent, Staff Association (PSA) who regularly undertake fundraising activities for the school. Alongside this, there is a well-informed and talented set of School Champions (Local Governing Board) who provide ‘critical friendship’ in their role. These constructive and productive working relationships at Champions Board level have ensured that Senior Leaders and staff are fully supported in their role, as well as appropriately challenged to bring about the best educational opportunities for all of the pupils within the school.

We are seeking to employ 3 x Midday Supervisor. You will work as part of a team of Midday Supervisors, under the direction of the Senior Midday Supervisor, in supporting pupils during the mid-day break. You will be responsible for pupils’ safety and well-being, supervising them in the dining room, classrooms and on the playgrounds.
