About this Role

Barnehurst Infant School is looking for a Mid-Day Supervisor to lead our friendly, hardworking team, which is dedicated to aiding our nursery pupils over the lunchtime period.

The Role

Your duties will include managing the team's day-to-day operations, assisting in setting up/clearing away in the dining hall, and supervising the children as they eat. You will also, as needed, organise outside play and supervise the playground/field.

You need the skills to encourage pupils to eat healthy meals and use the appropriate utensils.

Flexibility is key in this position, and you must be comfortable supervising groups using your own initiative.

About You

You will be trustworthy, enthusiastic, full of energy, well-organised, and self-motivated. 

You will enjoy working with pupils and be able to communicate at all levels, meet children’s individual needs, and coordinate safe, creative play opportunities.

Common sense, patience, and good judgment are key in this role. You will also be committed to promoting equality and diversity, demonstrating good food hygiene practices, and following the school's pupils’ behaviour and health and safety policies.

All applicants will be notified of the shortlisting outcome. References for shortlisted candidates may be requested prior to interview.
