Are you a friendly and reliable individual who enjoys working with children? We are looking for enthusiastic Lunchtime Supervisory Assistants to join our team, ensuring that our students have a safe, fun, and organised break in the middle of their school day.

At Wickersley Partnership Trust (WPT), we are fueled by a single commitment: 'We never knowingly do less for other people’s children than we would for our own.' As a thriving network of schools across South Yorkshire, we combine high expectations with embedded inclusivity. We do not work in silos; instead, we rely on deep collaboration and school-to-school support to ensure every student develops socially, emotionally, and academically to achieve the highest standards.
