The Learning Academy Partnership has an exciting opportunity for a Mealtime Assistant to be part of our team, based in Gulworthy Academy.
Gulworthy is a unique school situated in the beautiful Tamar valley. Our mission is to put children and learning at the heart of everything we do, so every child is confident and can flourish as we nurture their development. We very much see ourselves as a family, working together as a community to remove barriers to learning and build on children's creativity and curiosity.
We are looking for a caring person to support and supervise our children at lunchtimes, both within school and during their time in the playground. Experience of working with children is not essential, just the desire to deliver the best possible lunchtime experience.
We encourage applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that represents the wider communities that we serve. We champion diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued and a sense of belonging. We are proud that our People Strategy enables us to nurture, develop and support our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children.
We can offer you:
An impactful People Strategy that enables us to nurture, develop and support our colleagues so that they can provide the very best for our children
A culture that takes work-life balance extremely seriously for all its colleagues
The chance to work as part of a collective in a values-led school Trust, a single organisation
High quality professional development and regular training

Our School Trust is underpinned by our four core beliefs; we are stronger together, a sense of belonging; removing barriers and realising the possible. This means that by working collectively, we can achieve our absolute best to ensure that children, especially the most vulnerable, can flourish.
In short, our ethos is one of working together to
Empower, Excel, Together
