This role requires a proactive approach to maintaining acceptable standards of behaviour and building positive relationships within the academy setting.
Our school, affectionately known as Portland Palace, is more than a place of learning—it's a community and a second home. As Principal, I promise our students academically strong, kind, expert teachers and caring pastoral staff; they deserve nothing less than the best.
Located in the heart of Worksop, we serve a diverse and vibrant community. We are one of the most oversubscribed schools in the region, chosen by families for our strong pastoral care, high standards, and exceptional culture of learning.
Our mission places students at the centre of every decision. We are driven by the belief that our children should feel safe, loved, and seen. We are recognised nationally for both our ethos and culture and as an IQM School of Excellence.

You will be responsible for ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of students during the lunchtime period across the site, including supervision in the dining hall and other designated areas. This involves actively upholding acceptable behaviour standards by modelling outstanding conduct, manners, speech, and appearance at all times.
You will intervene in behavioural issues using positive behaviour management strategies to bring about improvement. Furthermore, you will assist in managing the dining environment, ensuring it is kept clean and clear from slip hazards by helping with tasks like clearing tables and tidying equipment.
The successful candidate should possess strong communication, teamwork, and caring skills. It is essential to demonstrate the ability to make quick decisions regarding when to intervene to prevent children from injuring themselves or others, or when to refer cases of unruly behaviour to the Principal.
Desirable qualities include knowledge of basic hygiene procedures and appropriate knowledge of First Aid. A willingness to obtain and/or enhance qualifications and training is required. A satisfactory DBS check is mandatory.
