We are looking to appoint a caring, patient, supportive and confident person who is enthusiastic about working with children during their lunch time meal break. This is a crucial role in the life of our school. We are seeking a team player who shows initiative and understands how to manage pupils positively, in a way that makes them feel safe and secure, but which also expects and requires the highest standards of behaviour.
Main duties
● Help to organise children in the hall, classrooms, outside areas, encouraging good manners and supporting healthy eating
● Supervise, lead and support play activities.
● Encourage children who are reluctant to participate in lunchtime activities
● Promote independence and positive behaviour
● Establish good relationships with pupils, acting as a role model and being aware of, and responding appropriately to, individual needs
● Ensure the safety and welfare of all our pupils through the management of pupil behaviour at lunchtimes
● Deal with minor first aid needs
● Assist with associated duties (e.g., cleaning up spillages, cleaning tables and ensuring pupil hygiene)
● Follow school policy and procedures and show initiative
You will be expected to attend training courses to develop your role.
Join us at Dulverton and be part of an inspiring team that truly makes a difference in children's lives!
