NON CYC VACANCY

SCHOOL VACANCY

Scarcroft Primary School is seeking an enthusiastic and conscientious Midday Supervisor to join our existing team.

Qualifications are not essential; what is more important is that you are caring, committed and able to communicate well with children. The role involves assisting with all lunchtime duties, including supervising children in the dining hall and playground in appropriate play and activities. You will play a key role in ensuring the safety and wellbeing of pupils at all times.

In return, we can offer a supportive working environment, with colleagues who care deeply, are experts in their fields and who are passionate about what they do. We also offer a range of staff benefits, and further details regarding our benefits and information about our Trust can be found here.

The trust will be undertaking a job evaluation exercise in the near future and, therefore, the grade for this position may change.

Further details about our school are available on our school website: www.scarcroftprimaryschool.co.uk
