Breakfast Club Supervisor
Oxgangs Primary School

Salary: £26,806 - £27,032 (pro rata for part-time and sessional 39 weeks)
Hours: 3.75 per week (Monday – Friday 8:00am – 8:45am)

Oxgangs Primary School is a non-denominational school serving the Colinton Mains, Craiglockhart and Firrhill areas of South Edinburgh. The school has a current roll of around 300 children organised into 13 classes.
We require a Breakfast Club Supervisor to join our team. The successful candidate will be a highly motivated, enthusiastic individual with a solution focused and nurturing approach.

Breakfast clubs provide a healthy start to the day and offer opportunities to take part in social and physical activities before the academic school day begins. Breakfast clubs promote children’s attendance, punctuality and readiness to learn. They also provide support for parents and carers who are in work or training or for those in need of additional support before the start of the school day. Breakfast clubs have a key role in addressing food insecurity by ensuring that no child starts their school day hungry.

Key Aims of the Breakfast Club Programme are:

• To ensure that every child attending a City of Edinburgh Council mainstream primary school has access to breakfast club provision delivered in a safe, nurturing and caring environment, by appropriately trained staff.
• To increase the number of children eating a healthy breakfast, which will help them engage in learning and improve their general health.
• To promote the social aspects of eating together by encouraging social skills and good citizenship.
• To support parents/carers in work, training and education, particularly where families are experiencing economic disadvantage.

Key Objectives of the Breakfast Club Programme are:

• To promote a holistic, whole school approach towards children’s health and wellbeing – physical and emotional.
• To ensure that breakfast is a calm and relaxed, social occasion for the children, in readiness for the start of the school day.
• To increase the children’s life skills by encouraging their participation in the daily breakfast routines.
• To provide social and emotional support and help with homework where appropriate.
