Ramsgate Arts Primary School is looking for a Minibus Chaperone.

We are looking for a chaperone for our daily minibus collection to supervise and support pupils, ensuring their safety, comfort and conduct whilst on their journey to school.

We are looking for someone that will:

Children will be at the heart of your work; you must be able to demonstrate that you understand the importance of educating the whole child within a creative and innovative school setting.
