An exciting opportunity has arisen for a part-time, term-time, Breakfast Club Assistant at St Margaret's RC Primary School.
Breakfast clubs provide a healthy start to the day and offer opportunities to take part in social and physical activities before the academic school day begins. They promote children’s attendance, punctuality, and readiness to learn.
Breakfast clubs also support parents and carers who are in work or training or those in need of additional support before the start of the school day. They play a key role in addressing food insecurity by ensuring that no child starts their school day hungry.
Key Aims of the Breakfast Club Programme
1. To ensure that every child attending a City of Edinburgh Council mainstream primary school has access to breakfast club provision delivered in a safe, nurturing, and caring environment, by appropriately trained staff.
2. To increase the number of children eating a healthy breakfast, which will help them engage in learning and improve their general health.
3. To promote the social aspects of eating together by encouraging social skills and good citizenship.
4. To support parents/carers in work, training, and education, particularly where families are experiencing economic disadvantage.
Key Objectives of the Breakfast Club Programme
1. To promote a holistic, whole school approach towards children’s health and wellbeing – physical and emotional.
2. To ensure that breakfast is a calm and relaxed, social occasion for the children, in readiness for the start of the school day.
3. To increase the children’s life skills by encouraging their participation in the daily breakfast routines.
4. To provide social and emotional support and help with homework where appropriate.

This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. The preferred candidate will be required to join the PVG Scheme or undergo a PVG Scheme update check.

Requirements
We're committed to creating a workplace culture where all our people feel valued, included and able to be their best at work, and we recognise the benefits that a diverse workforce with different values, beliefs, experience, and backgrounds brings to us as an organisation.
To help achieve this, we’re changing the way we interview and assess candidates by moving from a competency-based interview approach to a behavioural and technical (skills for the job) based approach. This new way of interviewing will allow us to assess how you think and how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity, and Flexibility into your ways of working.
Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
Happy to talk flexible working.
