Meals Supervisor Post

Meal Supervisors are required to join the team at this outstanding school. The successful candidates will work in a class under the direction of the teacher and with other support staff to assist in the education of students at Greenvale.

Greenvale is Lewisham’s community special school for children and young people between the ages of 11 and 19 years who have significant learning difficulties including those with an additional diagnosis of autism, and those with additional medical needs. Many pupils have additional physical and sensory disabilities and some of our young people have profound and multiple learning difficulties. We cater for young people with different levels of learning difficulty through our pathways approach which specifies their learning and provision pathway. Some of our young people come to us from specialist provision whilst others have been through mainstream primary provision. The school is based across two beautiful, purpose-built sites each with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities.  Students in Key Stage 3 and 4 are based on Waters Road, North Downham and our Key stage 5 and Glade Pathway students now attend our brand new Mayow Road site, in Forest Hill.

Meal supervisors are attached to a class group and are therefore a member of the class team. Lunchtime is a part of the educational day, and an appropriate learning environment needs to be maintained throughout. Meal supervisors have a participatory role as well as a supervisory role during the lunchtime period and work under the direction of the class teacher and the Headteacher.
