An opportunity has arisen to join the St John’s Church of England Primary School staff team and we are currently recruiting for Eagle Play Mentor to support our children during lunchtimes. The role involves working together as part of a team supporting St John’s Church of England Primary School children during their lunchtime, the children eat within their year group in the hall and studio and play in either our main or rooftop playground.
