You will be working with the children supervising at lunchtime and assisting with the partaking of food, engaging and encouraging play activities and assisting with children’s hygiene requirements which include toileting and laundry tasks.

Shortlisted candidates will be required to attend school prior to interview for a short pre-assessment with the children at lunchtime to help decide your suitability for the role. This will take place on Wednesday 6^th January 2022 from 11.30-1.30pm

This post is covered by Part 7 of the Immigration Act (2016) and therefore the ability to speak fluent and spoken English is an essential requirement for this role.
