About the Role:

As a Midday Assistant, you will support pupils during the lunchtime period - helping them with eating, socialising, and ensuring they are safe and engaged during play.

You will work across the school, including supporting children within the ARP, so experience or understanding of working with children with additional needs is desirable but not essential.

We are looking for someone who is:

· Kind, patient and committed to supporting children

· Able to work well as part of a team

· Responsible and reliable

· Flexible and willing to support all children, including those with complex needs

In return, we offer:

· A 'Good' school as rated by Ofsted in January 2025;

· A committed staff team who genuinely wants the best for our pupils;

· A variety of professional development opportunities;

· Strong support from the Senior Leadership Team and governors;

· A fantastic opportunity to develop skills and knowledge.

· A welcoming and inclusive school community

· Support and training as needed

· The opportunity to make a difference every day

Visits are warmly welcomed and can be arranged by contacting the School Office.

We reserve the right to close this application process earlier if we are successful in hiring a high quality candidate for the role.

All appointments are subject to safer recruitment requirements to ensure the safeguarding of children and young people. All positions will involve appropriate checks and clearances.
