About this Role

Operations Support Assistant at Green Park Village Primary Academy

Start Date: Required for September 2024

Salary: NJC 2-7- pro rata

Working hours: 10 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 11.30am – 1.30pm, term time only plus 5 INSET days


We are looking to appoint an Operations Support Assistant to support our children during their lunchtimes.

The role of the Operations Support Assistant is central to enabling excellence for all our children at Green Park Village Primary Academy. It is a role which has an influence on all children in the school, supporting all aspects of their experience within their midday break- eating play, transitions and routines.

Operations Support Assistants follow leaders’ guidance and direction for their role in the eating supervision and play provision for children, including those with Special Educational Needs. There is expectation that Operations Support Assistants are able to respond to the needs of the children and adapt their support appropriately in a responsive way, ensuring all children are and feel safe and engaged in play activities. Whether you are new to the role or have experience to bring, you will receive coaching and mentoring from experienced teachers and leaders in the academy and trust to ensure that you are supported in all aspects of what you do.

 Therefore, we welcome applications from experienced Operations Support Assistants, as well as those looking for their first position in working as part of a school team. Our Operations Support Assistants are required to support all children in the school, including those with more complex needs- the needs of the children on a particular day always come first.

 Green Park Village Primary Academy is a highly inclusive setting, valuing all children’s achievements and their diversity, ensuring that each child is given every opportunity to meet their full potential and shine in whatever they would like to do.

 At Green Park Village Primary Academy we want to provide opportunities for all children to have exceptional futures.


What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone with a passion for making midday breaks safe and enjoyable for all children. This starts with a candidate who has a willingness to interact with and support all children in our school.

We are looking for someone who is a team player, who can work alongside the compassionate and hardworking team and be flexible to what is required for smooth running of the children’s school day.

 

We want someone who has:

·       The motivation to achieve the very best for the children in our care and be relentless in the pursuit of excellence

·       Excellent inter-personal skills

·       Excellent communication skills and a good sense of humour

·       Creativity and passion to create and lead engaging play activities

·       The willingness to apply themselves to a range of practical tasks with positivity and diligence

 

In return we can offer:

·       A firm commitment to you and your professional development

·       Friendly, supportive, enthusiastic and hardworking colleagues, staff and Governors

·       A growing learning community

·       Encouragement to develop new ideas and the opportunity to make a real difference

·       Coaching and mentoring from the trust and school teachers and leaders

·       Fantastic trust wide CPD opportunities

·       Vast opportunities for career progression

 

Building our school has involved dedication, commitment and hard work from all our team involved to date. We would not be where we are without the contribution of all of our team (past and present) and the willingness to apply themselves to all needing doing. We ask that all learning support staff are flexible to the needs of the school as we grow and this may involve being a specialist within a phase or being willing to support across phases.
