Lunchtime Supervisory Assistant

Scholes (Elmet) Primary School is looking for Lunchtime Supervisory Assistants to join our school, to start asap. For our children, we’re a happy and healthy place to learn. For our staff, we’re a happy and healthy place to work: ‘It feels like staff wellbeing is considered across the federation.’ ‘It’s great to work with such supportive colleagues.’ ‘I feel valued as a part of the team.’ (Staff survey, 2026) We want people who demonstrate personal qualities of dedication, patience, flexibility and humour. They will be able to work collaboratively as part of a team as well as respond quickly to the changing needs of the school and individual children. Some experience of working with children would be useful though not essential as full support will be given to the successful applicants. The role will involve supervising our children to ensure that lunchtime is a fun, active and enjoyable time of the day. The successful candidate will also be expected to supervise the children in the dining room and outside. This will involve supporting children while they eat their lunch, helping to keep the area clean and tidy and ensuring the school discipline and safeguarding procedures are implemented at all times.
