What skills and experience we're looking for
St Paul’s is a unique place that bases all it does around the school, its pupils and families. As a school, we have high expectations and aspirations for all our pupils to ensure an effective learning experience and the highest possible outcomes that will prepare and enhance our pupils for their next journey and beyond. Our Christian values, ‘Trust’, ‘Love’ and ‘Compassion’ and ‘Respect’ underpin all that we do in our school.
Our newly established vision, ‘Do everything in love,’ also recognise the importance of celebrating everyone who learns and works here and the need to work collaboratively and inclusively in the diverse cultural world that we live in.
The headteacher and governors of this happy, caring school are seeking to appoint a trustworthy and reliable person to supervise and take responsibility for a group of children as they attend Breakfast & or After school Club. This will involve providing a warm and welcoming environment, receiving and recording messages for other staff. The post holder will also need to plan for a range of school activities, planning, preparing and delivering varied and interesting activities suited to the needs and age range of the children, supervising them as they eat their breakfast/ meal, ensuring a safe and calm environment at all times and delivering each child to their class for the start of school. The post holder will also have responsibility for managing other staff and monitoring their work, and reporting back to their line manager.
