Greenshaw High School is a highly over-subscribed 11 to 18 mixed comprehensive secondary school situated in Sutton, South West London. We are proud of our strong local reputation, having over 4,000 applications for 300 places in September 2024.
In October 2024 the hard work of our students and staff was recognised by Ofsted. The inspection team described the school as offering "an exceptional standard of education", using the words "flourishing, "inclusive" and "friendly" to describe our school. In the report Quality of Education, Behaviour & Attitudes, Sixth Form and Leadership & Management were all graded as Outstanding.
We have a very diverse population of students, offering a comprehensive range of opportunities for colleagues who work here. Our students - of all groups - have done incredibly well over the last few years, with our GCSE achievement always being at least in the top 20% of the country, and over 60 Sixth Form students attending Russell Group universities each year.
We are looking for a Social Time Supervisor. This is an exciting opportunity to join Greenshaw High School and become an integral member of the Social Time department.
The successful candidate will play an important role in ensuring that our students are supervised appropriately and kept safe on the premises during social time periods. For the right candidate, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a difference to the lives of our students.
Social Time Supervisors play an important role in ensuring that our students are supervised appropriately and kept safe on the premises during break and lunchtime periods.
Greenshaw High School operates a split social time rota based on duty points, which are reviewed on a daily basis. Social Time Supervisors may be assigned to the same duty point for all of their duties, or assigned to a different duty point for each day. The social time rota operates as below:
Break:
09:55am – 10:15am Year 7 & Year 8
10:20am – 10:45am Year 9
10:55am – 11:15am Year 10, Year 11 & Sixth Form
Lunch:
12:05pm – 12:45pm Year 7
12:15pm – 12:45pm Year 8
12:45pm – 13:15pm Year 10
13:15pm – 13:45pm Year 9, Year 11 & Sixth Form
Prior to the start of the break and lunchtime periods, our Social Time Supervisors prepare the eating areas for students and ensure that the area is clean and tidy for the start of the next break and lunch period
Due to the nature of the role, the majority of break and lunchtime duty points are outside. Social Time Supervisors work outside in variable weather conditions.
