Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence.
At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes. Now, we are looking for a passionate and committed Caretaker to play a vital role in supporting this vision at Springfield Junior School.
About The Role
- Supervise pupils during lunch, promoting a safe, positive, and inclusive environment both in the dining hall and on the playground.
Who We’re Looking For
We are looking for a friendly, reliable, and caring individual who enjoys working with children and helping to create a safe and positive lunchtime environment. You will be approachable and patient, with the confidence to supervise pupils, encourage good behaviour, and support their wellbeing.
The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal skills, be attentive and observant, and able to handle situations calmly and fairly. Experience working with children is helpful but not essential—what matters most is a positive attitude, a sense of responsibility, and a commitment to supporting all pupils in having an enjoyable and inclusive lunchtime experience.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
