Job overview
As a member school of the South Downs Learning Trust, we are committed to providing a safe and enriching learning environment for all our learners. We pride ourselves on ensuring that all members of staff play a key role in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.
Everything we do is centred on developing our young people to become confident, creative and caring students who achieve excellence in everything they do. Be it academically or socially, our aim is to enable our students to grow and flourish and achieve all their potential. This means educating the whole child and giving them the skills to take the next steps on their journey when they leave us to attend further education or training, and then into the right career.
We are now looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated Principal Lunchtime Supervisor to lead our team in ensuring the welfare and safety of all learners during lunchtimes. This vital role involves creating a calm and supportive atmosphere, encouraging positive behaviour and upholding the school’s commitment to safeguarding and inclusivity.
As Principal Lunchtime Supervisor, you will take responsibility for supervising students across dining areas, playgrounds, and other school premises. This includes organising lunch queues, ensuring good manners and social skills, and supporting students in feeling valued and safe. You will also play an active role in managing behaviour, addressing incidents in line with school policies, and maintaining a welcoming environment for all.
In this role, your approachable and cheerful personality will make a real difference to the school community. You’ll work closely with other staff to uphold high standards of student welfare, undertake ancillary duties to maintain cleanliness and order, and contribute to the school’s safeguarding responsibilities by ensuring that every interaction prioritises student well-being.
We are looking for someone reliable, flexible, and committed to working with children. Strong organisational skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure are essential, and while experience in a school or similar setting is desirable, it is your dedication to supporting young people that will set you apart.
We offer an incentive package which includes:
- A comprehensive induction programme for new staff to our academies.
- Support and mentoring by a strong Senior Leadership Team and other experienced leaders.
- Full use of an employee assistance programme supporting wellbeing.
- Free breakfast of bagel/cereal/porridge/tea/orange juice.
- Staffroom with complimentary tea and coffee.
- On-site parking.
- Exclusive discounted membership at Eastbourne Sports Park.
We look forward to receiving your application and learning how you can contribute to the success of our school community.
