Your Role

At Ravenscliffe High School, every interaction matters. Lunchtime is much more than a break in the day. It is an opportunity to support students' independence, communication, wellbeing and social development.

We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and reliable Lunchtime Supervisors to join our exceptional team. This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys working with young people and wants to make a genuine difference to their daily experience in school.

As a specialist secondary school for students with a wide range of complex learning needs, we are seeking people who are patient, adaptable and committed to helping every student feel safe, valued and successful. You will support students during lunch, assist with personal care where required, encourage positive interactions and help create an enjoyable and inclusive lunchtime environment.

We value staff who demonstrate professional curiosity. This means taking an active interest in understanding our students, noticing small changes, asking questions and working closely with colleagues to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive. We are looking for people who are keen to learn, reflective in their practice and committed to understanding each student's individual needs.

We are looking for people who:

  1. Are kind, patient and caring.
  2. Enjoy building positive relationships with young people.
  3. Have a genuine commitment to inclusion and supporting students with special educational needs.
  4. Can work calmly and professionally in a busy environment.
  5. Are flexible, resilient and able to work effectively as part of a team.
  6. Bring enthusiasm, professionalism and a willingness to learn.

In return, we offer:

  1. A highly supportive and welcoming staff team.
  2. Opportunities for training and development.
  3. An inclusive school community that celebrates individuality and achievement.
  4. Health and wellbeing support.
  5. A free lunch each day (to be taken in your own time before your shift commences).

Whether you have experience working in education, care or support roles, or are looking for a rewarding opportunity that fits around other commitments, we'd love to hear from you.

At Ravenscliffe, you'll be joining a school where relationships matter, every achievement is celebrated, and where staff work together to help students achieve their fullest potential.

Ready to Make a Difference?

If you want a role where you are valued and where your contribution truly matters, and where you can help young people grow in confidence, independence, and happiness we would love you to apply.

Ravenscliffe High School is committed to creating a diverse workforce that is representative of our community. We'll consider all qualifying applications regardless of the candidate's sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religious beliefs, age, pregnancy or marital status.
