I've worked at St John's for over 20 years now, I like being part of a team which is positive and friendly and where every child matters.  Being a Midday Supervisor is part of that; helping to make lunchtimes happy and enjoyable.  In the dinner hall I encourage them to try different foods and in the playground I organise and play games.  To see and help a child smile, laugh and have fun makes the job very rewarding.

I have worked in St John’s for many years and l really enjoy working with children because no two days are the same.

As a child, I never liked school and could never imagine that I would work in one or go back into education myself!  Things changed with my son was born.  At the age of 7 he was diagnosed with ADHD and I decided to find ways to help him make school life easier.  I started to volunteer at St John's by reading with children and working alongside the teacher.  I really enjoyed it!  I knew then that I wanted to help children achieve, no matter what the barriers or challenges were.  Since then, I have gone back to college to gain more qualifications and now work as a Midday Supervisor.  In my role, no day is ever the same.  You never know what each day brings and that's what I love about it.  We work as a team and support each other.  That's what makes my job so rewarding and enjoyable.  Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
