Fairchildes Primary School is proud to be an Outstanding school at the heart of the community of New Addington on the outskirts of Croydon. We are excited to be expanding our highly successful nursery provision to welcome 2-year-olds from September 2025 and are looking for a dinner supervisor to support us with this.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with the setup and tidying of the dining area as needed.
• Respond promptly to any incidents or first aid needs, reporting to staff as necessary.
• Maintain a safe and supportive environment in line with school policies and safeguarding procedures

We’re seeking someone who is caring, observant, and able to support children with varied needs in a positive and calm manner. The ideal candidate will have:

• Good communication skills to interact effectively with children and staff.
• A patient, approachable, and responsible attitude.

Fairchildes Primary School is part of the FACT Trust, a small Croydon-based multi-academy trust with inclusion at its heart. We are committed to being an inclusive employer and to building a diverse workforce where all staff feel valued, respected, and supported to thrive. As part of the Trust, you will benefit from the sharing and development of best practice across schools, with excellent opportunities for professional growth and the chance to contribute meaningfully to the success of the wider Trust community.
