King Edward VI School is looking for Lunchtime Supervisors (Multiple Positions)

We are looking for external staff to join our Lunchtime Supervision team, preferably 5 days a week during term time.

You will be responsible for a set area within the school, supervising our students and dealing with any issues as they arise. You will need to have clear and confident communication skills in supporting students to be safe and respectful during their lunchtime break.

Teamwork will be key and you will be expected to follow school policies at all times. Experience of working with children and young people is not essential, more a willingness to show an interest in them and their lunchtime activities, which will help create those positive relationships with our young people.

King Edward VI CEVC School is a successful, oversubscribed 11-16 school with 1200 students on roll. We are situated in the historic town of Bury St Edmunds (‘the jewel in the crown of Suffolk’), surrounded by beautiful countryside – just over an hour by train to London, and with close links to the A14.

We will offer you

The opportunity to work with a supportive team of colleagues with a focus on putting our students at the centre of everything we do.
