About this Role

About the Role  

Due to expansion, Southfield School is seeking to appoint a Midday Supervisory Assistant to join our dedicated team. 

This permanent role involves working 1.5 hours per day (7.5 hours per week), term time only, supporting the busiest – and most enjoyable – part of the school day. 

Children are at the heart of this role, so we are looking for someone who is comfortable supporting children with physical activities and tasks. The ideal candidate will have an enthusiasm for play and be willing to use their initiative to help make lunchtime fun, enjoyable and safe for our pupils. 

Key Responsibilities  

Working as part of an established and skilled team, you will:  

  • Support pupils with complex learning difficulties during lunchtime and playtime.  
  • Supervise children during outdoor play and in the dining room 
  • Promoting social interaction, independence and self-help skills.  
  • Provide personal care support where required
  • Ensure the safety, wellbeing and engagement of all pupils 

About You  

Experience of working with children with Special Educational Needs would be an advantage, as would a first aid qualification; however, neither is essential, as full training will be provided. You will be required to attend training sessions and development days where necessary to ensure pupils receive the highest quality care and support. 

About Southfield School  

Southfield School is a specialist primary school for over 110 pupils with Learning Difficulties, including Autism, Speech, Language and Communication Needs, Global Developmental Delay and associated conditions. We are committed to helping every child thrive socially, emotionally and academically and are looking for like-minded, resilient staff who are passionate about making a difference. 

Southfield School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  

The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory pre-employment clearances. 

We welcome applications from all members of the community. 

Start date: As soon as possible. 

We warmly welcome the opportunity for prospective applicants to visit our school, meet our dedicated staff, and experience our vibrant community of pupils. To arrange a visit, please contact the school office on 01707 276 504 to schedule an appointment with the Headteacher. 

Applications are invited via the MyNewTerm portal:  https://mynewterm.com/school/Southfield-School/130362 

Prospective candidates are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible, as we reserve the right to shortlist, interview, and appoint prior to the advertised closing date.
