Do you have a genuine desire to create something extraordinary for the children in our care? If so, Vane Road Primary School may just be looking for you.
Working as a member of the Lunchtime Play Leader Team, you will ensure that all our children have meaningful lunchtime play every day. You will work as a member of the Lunchtime Play Leader Team to create a safe and stimulating outdoor environment, providing social, active and creative play experiences for all.
The Play Team are also responsible for ensuring that all our children have a pleasant eating experience at lunchtime, whilst maximising the time they can spend outside playing. You will support all our children as they visit the dining hall and are responsible for clearing and cleaning the hall to a state ready for use (e.g. for PE, school assemblies) in the afternoon.
Your practice, ethos and approach to school life will shape the lives of our children, the school we are building and the future staff that are appointed. As such, it is key that:
- you are an experienced and strong Primary School professional;
- you love working with children; being able to forge positive relationships quickly and become a trusted adult during their time in school;
- you are kind. You lead by example;
- you work well as a team; as a large school, we will all need to support each other across all aspects of the school, so you will be happy to work together to make Vane Road an outstanding school.
If this sounds like you and a role that you would relish, please look carefully at the following materials and complete the application form.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is subject to a successful DBS clearance (certificate of disclosure form from the Disclosure and Barring Service). Pre-employment checks, including an online and social media search (KCSIE), will be undertaken before an appointment is confirmed.
