Job Advert

Midday Assistant – St Elizabeth’s College (SEN)

Location: Much Hadham, Hertfordshire
Hours: 12:00pm – 2:00pm, Monday to Friday (Term Time Only, 38 weeks)
Salary: £5,623.31 per annum (£12.63 per hour)


Make lunchtimes brighter. Support students to thrive.


At St Elizabeth’s, every part of the day matters — and lunchtime is no exception. We’re looking for kind, reliable and enthusiastic Midday Assistants to join our vibrant college team and help create a calm, safe, and engaging lunchtime experience for our learners.

You’ll supervise and support learners aged 19 – 25 years with complex needs and learning disabilities, ensuring their welfare and wellbeing during both dining and activities. Whether you’re helping a child enjoy their lunch, encouraging positive engagement, or providing quiet reassurance during transitions, your presence will make a genuine difference.


What you’ll do:

  • Supervise learners during lunchtime in the dining hall, classrooms, and outdoor areas.
  • Support with mealtime routines, including assisting learners with eating where required.
  • Promote good table manners, safe play, and respectful interactions.
  • Encourage engagement in inclusive, age-appropriate leisure activities.
  • Help manage behaviours calmly and appropriately, following student care plans.
  • Assist with setting up and tidying dining areas before and after service.
  • Ensure a safe, clean, and nurturing environment for all pupils during break times.


About you:

You’re a team player with a caring, proactive attitude. You enjoy working with children and young people and are calm, patient, and positive in your approach.

While experience in a school or care setting is helpful, it’s not essential — full training and support will be provided.


Why join St Elizabeth’s?

Nestled in 60 acres of beautiful countryside, St Elizabeth’s is a leading charity supporting children, young people, and adults with complex medical and learning needs. Our on-site School, College, and residential care settings work together to help individuals live life to the full.

Our team members are passionate, committed, and proud to be part of something truly meaningful.

We also offer:

  • Fully funded enhanced DBS check
  • Free on-site parking
  • Recommend-a-friend scheme (up to £500*)
  • Blue Light Card eligibility for retail and leisure discounts
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Employee Assistance Programme for wellbeing support
  • Life assurance cover
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Contributory pension scheme (auto-enrolment after 3 months)


How to apply

Apply via our website by submitting your application form and CV. We review applications on a rolling basis and may close the advert early if we receive a high volume of interest, so early applications are encouraged.

Please note: St Elizabeth’s is not on a public transport route, so access to your own transport or alternative arrangements is essential.


Inclusion & Safeguarding

We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and a Disability Confident organisation. We welcome applications from all backgrounds and actively encourage a diverse workforce.

Safeguarding is central to everything we do at St Elizabeth’s. This role is subject to enhanced DBS checks and satisfactory references. Roles involving regulated activity may not be applied for by individuals barred from working with vulnerable children or adults.


Live life to the full. Help others do the same.


Join St Elizabeth’s and support our students in every moment that matters.
