After the meal they:
- supervise children in the playground (or in the hall or classroom in wet weather)
- stop any dangerous behaviour
- deal with any quarrels or fights
- comfort children who are upset
- deal with minor injuries such as cuts, grazes and bruises
- sometimes organise games.
Please see Local Government Careers website (LG Careers) for more details of the job.

Lunchtime supervisors work part-time, between 12 noon and 1.30pm on school days. They usually work less than ten hours a week. Supervisors only work during term time.
