Midday Supervisor

Job description

About

Schools and Academies

Closing date: 26 November 2026

Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence.

At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes. Now, we are looking for a passionate and committed Midday Supervisor to play a vital role in supporting this vision at Springfield Academy.

About the Role

A midday supervisor supports the smooth running of the lunch period by keeping pupils safe, calm, and positively engaged. The role involves supervising children in the dining hall and playground, encouraging good behaviour and safe play, helping younger pupils with eating routines, and responding to any minor issues or concerns. By maintaining a friendly, watchful presence, the midday supervisor helps ensure lunchtime is a safe, enjoyable part of the school day 

Who We’re Looking For

We are looking for a friendly, reliable, and caring individual who enjoys working with children and helping to create a safe and positive lunchtime environment. You will be approachable and patient, with the confidence to supervise pupils, encourage good behaviour, and support their wellbeing.

The ideal candidate will have strong interpersonal skills, be attentive and observant, and able to handle situations calmly and fairly. Experience working with children is helpful but not essential—what matters most is a positive attitude, a sense of responsibility, and a commitment to supporting all pupils in having an enjoyable and inclusive lunchtime experience.
