The role

Green Lane Special School require caring people to join our team of Midday Assistants helping the children from Reception to Year 11 during lunch time.

This position is 7.50 hours a week, working 1.50 hours a day, term time only and is a permanent contract.

The position involves the general supervision of pupils to and from the dining hall and/or classrooms and other designated areas, as well as assisting with the supervision of pupils whilst they are eating. The role also involves supervising pupils on the playground and undertaking appropriate playground activities.

This is a very exciting opportunity for the right candidates within a school that was judged to be ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted in its last five consecutive Ofsted Inspections and which is committed to providing the highest quality provision for all of its pupils.
