We have an exciting opportunity for two Lunchtime Supervisors to join our Rowan Gate team. We are looking for committed individuals who want to support children with additional needs in a School environment.

The role of a Lunchtime Supervisor covers a range of activities to ensure that lunchtimes at School are a safe and effective part of the children's education and development.

The successful candidate will be required to:

• - Set up the school hall or classrooms ready for lunch and clear away leaving the room clean, tidy and ready for afternoon sessions
• - Assist with the feeding and help with toileting as required
• - Assist in the playground following the direction from classroom staff

The successful candidate will have:

• - Good communication and listening skills
• - An interest in working with and interacting with children with SEN
• - The ability to work as part of a team
• - An awareness of child protection issues
• - An ability to problem solve, and communicate adequately concerning issues with staff and children

Please note that these are permanent, part-time, term-time roles, working 38 weeks per year. We currently have two positions available:

• 10 hours per week: Monday to Friday, 12.00 midday to 2.00pm
• 8 hours per week: Monday to Thursday, 12.00 midday to 2.00pm

Both role are based at our Wellingborough site. However the successful candidate will be appointed to Rowan Gate Primary School and may be required to work at any of our other sites as required. As far as possible staff will be allocated to a specific site on an annual basis but travel between sites may be necessary on occasion.
