The Role
We are looking for a meals supervisor to join our school team. We are two primary schools within Oakbridge Federation, Rangefield Primary School and Forster Park Primary School. Forster Park hosts our Resource Base and Rangefield Primary hosts our cross federation Nursery. Both schools are maintained and within Lewisham Local Authority. Oakbridge serves a diverse community that embraces varying cultural backgrounds, which supports our children in becoming lifelong learners. Our children are friendly and keen to learn and thrive on challenge; they have good relationships with each other and enjoy the whole learning experience that we offer at both schools.
Your main responsibilities will be to undertake direct supervision of the children at lunchtimes, in the lunch hall and the playgrounds. You will work as part of a team of adults, including teachers and other support staff, to promote the learning and well-being of all pupils. You will do this through encouraging health eating and leading exciting and fun play games.
