- A team player who can also use their own initiative.
- Basic literacy and numeracy skills.
At St Peter's, we value tolerance, understanding, and forgiveness, and we want someone who will share these values and help our children thrive.
If you're ready to bring energy and positivity to our lunchtimes, we'd love to hear from you!
