We are seeking to appoint a reliable and enthusiastic Midday Supervisor, who will supervise our children over their lunchbreaks and play time including those in EYFS.  This will involve supervising pupils in the dinner hall, or within EYFS provision, as well as other indoor and outdoor areas including supervising pupils’ behaviour and leading playground games.

The successful applicant will enjoy working with children and will use their initiative and creativity to promote imaginative games and use of playground equipment, modelling and encouraging ways of playing that will motivate pupils to develop their own play skills and games challenges.  You will demonstrate consistently high expectations of behaviour and will work closely with a team of colleagues to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our children.

The hours for this role are 6.25 hours per week, Monday - Friday, term time only. Term time includes working 2 out of 5 INSET days each academic year as directed, with availability to work any or all of the remaining 3 INSET days at short notice should the need arise. This role is based at Listerdale Primary Academy but may, on occasion, involve working at other academies within the Trust.

Safeguarding

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

All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the ‘policy’ section of our academy websites.

It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from working with children.  This post will involve regular contact with children, and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act.  Any information that is “protected” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared.  Guidance on this can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974

Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children.  Additional checks in relation to the Childcare Disqualification Regulations will be undertaken for successful candidates to junior academies. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.

Equality

ACET is committed to ensuring equality of opportunity throughout the recruitment process.  We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and your application will be assessed purely on your ability to do the job.

We undertake to make any ‘reasonable adjustments’ to a job or workplace to counteract any disadvantages a disabled person may face. Where required, we will make reasonable adjustments to the selection process for an applicant with a disability.
