Midday Supervisor

Salary details: £ - £

The Governors of Melbourne Infant School wish to appoint a friendly, helpful and enthusiastic Midday Supervisor to join our team.

Our Midday staff are all valued members of the school community and play a vital role in ensuring our children feel safe, secure and happy during their lunch break.

Our children would love to hear from you if you like to play games, and if you are friendly, kind and fun!

Ideally, candidates will have a background of working with children in a supervisory capacity – however training will be given.  Attitude is much more important than experience: we want our midday supervisors to encourage children to play and initiate games.  Flexibility and patience are essential characteristics needed for this position.

Our Midday Supervisors work from 11.55am – 1.05pm (1 hour 10 minutes per day).  The ideal candidate will work Wednesday to Friday (3 days per week) however we can consider between 1-3 working days, worked between Wednesday to Friday.  Please state your preference for working days and hours on your application form.

We offer you the opportunity:

• to be part of a team of friendly and hardworking staff and Governors
• to work in an Ofsted rating “good” school and a forward thinking, well-resourced learning environment
• to work in a fun loving environment where all children and staff are encouraged to thrive

In our school everyone is valued and has the support of a dedicated team of staff, parents and governors.  If you are interested in becoming a key member of our friendly team, then we would love to hear from you; either by a phone call for an informal chat on 01332 862325 or an email to headteacher@melbourne-inf.derbyshire.sch.uk. Visits to the schools are welcomed when the school re-opens from our summer break on Tuesday 5th September 2023.
