Midday Supervisor (SEND)

ALP Schools is a group of five “Good” independent specialist schools for young people with SEND. All of our learners have Education, Health and Care Plans. We’re looking for a Midday Supervisor to join our friendly team at ALP Leicester and help make lunchtimes safe, calm and enjoyable for our learners.

You’ll work as part of a small team supervising pupils and the school site over the midday break. The role includes:

1. supervising the lunch area, playground and classrooms on wet play days
2. setting up and clearing away, and keeping the lunch area tidy
3. encouraging pupils to eat well and to join in with play
4. organising play activities
5. supporting pupils with medical, dietary or physical needs, and giving basic first aid
6. managing behaviour calmly and fairly, in line with school policy
7. keeping pupils safe on site and reporting any concerns

We’d love to hear from you if you:

1. have experience of working with children or young people
2. are calm, patient and firm but fair
3. communicate well with both adults and children
4. work well as part of a team and can use your initiative
5. have a good sense of humour and a “can do” attitude
6. have first aid training, or are happy to complete it

Experience in a SEND setting would be great but isn’t essential

In return, you’ll get a Bupa Healthcare Cashplan, CPD opportunities and a supportive team, all within short, regular hours that fit around family life.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications, so we’d encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

ALP Schools is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff to share this commitment. This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check, satisfactory references and online searches, in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education.
