Lift Montgomery Primary is looking to appoint a Midday Supervisor to support the safety, well‑being, and positive behaviour of pupils during lunchtime.

Lift Montgomery Primary is an Ofsted‑rated Outstanding school led by a highly experienced and dedicated leadership team, with Jasmine Woodward as Executive Principal and Fozia Nisar as Head of School. Both leaders have been with the school for over 10 years and have established a committed, enthusiastic team with a strong focus on high standards, teamwork, and pride in the school community.

This supportive and collaborative environment has contributed to the school being graded Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted, and we are proud of the inclusive and positive culture we have built for both staff and pupils.

As a Midday Supervisor, you will play an important role in ensuring that pupils have a safe, enjoyable and well‑supervised lunchtime experience.

You will supervise pupils in the dining hall, playground and other designated areas, ensuring they follow school expectations and behave respectfully towards one another. You will support pupils’ wellbeing during lunchtime, encouraging positive play and helping pupils develop important social skills such as turn‑taking, playing games together, and listening during group activities.

This role requires someone who is flexible and able to support pupils across different lunchtime environments. This may include supervising pupils in the dining hall, supporting children during play on the playground, or helping with small group activities to encourage positive interaction and behaviour.

• Liaising with teaching and pastoral staff regarding any concerns about pupil welfare

We are looking for someone who:

• Has experience supervising or caring for children (for example, as a parent, carer, or in a school setting)
• Can engage positively with pupils and support the development of their social and play skills
• Can remain calm and positive in busy environments
• Has strong communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with pupils and staff
• Is patient, reliable, and proactive
• Is flexible and willing to support across different lunchtime duties, including playground supervision and dining hall support
• Can work effectively as part of a team
