School Meals Supervisory Assistant

At Floreat we start with a simple idea: that education is as much about developing young people’s character strengths and virtues – like curiosity, honesty, perseverance and service – as it is about developing their academic knowledge. Every parent wants their child to work hard and fulfil their academic potential, but they also want them to learn how to be good and do good for others.

Appointment Details:

• Annual Salary: £3,700
• Hours: 2 hours per day (11am-1pm, exact hours to be confirmed), 5 days per week, term time only (37 weeks per year).

• Contract term: Permanent.
• Shortlisting and interview date: Applications will be considered upon receipt and shortlisted applicants will be notified by phone within 2 working days.

At Floreat we believe lunchtime is an essential part of the school day, when children can develop and practise character virtues such as patience, courtesy and service of other. Mealtimes at Floreat are a time to share, to display good manners and to enjoy one another’s company.

We are looking for an SMSA to help support a routine and rhythm for calm, enjoyable lunch times. You will become part of the lunchtime team and help shape our approach for years to come.
