Job Title: Midday Supervisor
Hourly Rate: £13.56
Term Time Only | 12 hours per week
What “Term Time Plus” Means
This role follows the school calendar, meaning you will work during student term time only, plus an additional 2 days across the year. These additional days are typically used during key periods such as exam results, enrolment, training, and preparation days.
Although you will not work all year round and your salary is calculated on a term-time basis, your pay is spread evenly across 12 months, providing consistent monthly income while benefiting from extended time off during school holidays.
This structure offers the security of set working hours alongside an improved work–life balance compared to full-year roles.
Working Hours:
- Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday: 10:30 am - 1:45 pm
- Wednesday: 11:00 am - 1:30 pm
