Aston Community Education Trust (ACET) are a forward thinking and ambitious multi-academy trust, comprising of three secondary academies and nine junior academies across the Rotherham, Sheffield and north Derbyshire areas.

An opportunity has arisen for a reliable and enthusiastic School Meals Supervisory Assistant at Langwith Bassett Junior Academy who will supervise and guide our children at lunchtime. This will include supervising pupils on their break / lunchtime in and around the dining hall, and supervising pupils’ indoor and outdoor play.

The successful applicant will ensure safety and maintain standards of behaviour, contributing to improving outcomes for pupils by actively supporting the aims, objectives and ethos of the academy. You will demonstrate consistently high expectations of the pupils and will work closely within a team of colleagues to ensure the wellbeing of our children.

Safeguarding

ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All applicants should read our Safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the ‘policy’ section of our academy websites.

It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from working with children. This post will involve regular contact with children, and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act. Any information that is “protected” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared. Guidance on this can be found at

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974.

Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.
