Smile Education is recruiting reliable, enthusiastic and experienced non-teaching support staff to work across welcoming primary schools in Grimsby and the surrounding areas.

Schools rely on much more than teachers and Teaching Assistants to provide safe, welcoming and successful learning environments. From keeping school offices running smoothly to preparing nutritious meals and maintaining clean, safe facilities, every member of the school team makes a difference.

• Lunchtime Supervisors – helping ensure children have a safe, positive and enjoyable lunchtime experience.
• Site Assistants and Caretakers – supporting premises maintenance, security and health and safety.

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in a similar role, ideally within a school or educational environment, although transferable experience is welcomed.
• A reliable, professional and proactive approach.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• The ability to work effectively in a busy school environment.
• An understanding of confidentiality, safeguarding and professional boundaries.
• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Flexibility to work across different schools in Grimsby.
• A positive attitude and genuine commitment to supporting children and school communities.

Role-specific qualifications and experience may be required, including food hygiene certification for catering positions, relevant administration or finance experience, or health and safety knowledge for premises roles.
