Be a Key Part of Lunchtime in North Kesteven

Lunchtime is one of the most important parts of a child’s day — a time to eat, play, and interact with friends. MDMS is looking for Midday Meal Supervisors to join primary schools across North Kesteven, helping to create a safe, structured, and enjoyable lunchtime for pupils.

You don’t need teaching experience — what matters is reliability, patience, and the ability to interact positively with children of all ages.

Why This Role Matters

As a Midday Meal Supervisor, you’ll be the friendly, trusted adult children look to during the school day. You will:

• Ensure safety in dining areas, corridors, classrooms, and playgrounds

• Support pupils during meals, especially younger or vulnerable children

• Promote positive behaviour and good manners

• Supervise outdoor and indoor play, encouraging inclusive games

• Manage minor behaviour issues calmly and fairly

• Offer reassurance to children who may feel upset or anxious

• Administer basic first aid if required (training provided)

• Report any accidents, incidents, or safeguarding concerns to school staff

Your presence helps children feel secure, confident, and ready to learn after lunchtime.
