In moments of challenge, you'll implement our school's discipline and behaviour policy with a balanced approach, fostering a safe and respectful environment for all.
Beyond the physical aspects of supervision, you'll also be attuned to the emotional wellbeing of our pupils. Whether it's offering a listening ear, providing reassurance, or administering basic first aid when necessary, your empathy and compassion will shine through in every interaction.

Our ideal applicant will be a communicator at heart, effortlessly connecting with children through language and active listening. Your ability to empathise with their needs and build trusting relationships sets you apart. You're committed to upholding school policies, including those related to behaviour management, health and safety, and you thrive in a collaborative environment, working effectively alongside your colleagues to support our pupils' growth
