King Edward VI School is looking for Lunchtime Supervisors (Multiple Positions)
We are looking for external staff to join our Lunchtime Supervision team, preferably 5 days a week during term time.
You will be responsible for a set area within the school, supervising our students and dealing with any issues as they arise. You will need to have clear and confident communication skills in supporting students to be safe and respectful during their lunchtime break.
Teamwork will be key and you will be expected to follow school policies at all times. Experience of working with children and young people is not essential, more a willingness to show an interest in them and their lunchtime activities, which will help create those positive relationships with our young people.
