PART TIME, PERMANENT, TERM-TIME ONLY

We are seeking to appoint a kind and caring person, who is enthusiastic and passionate about working with children, to join the marvellous after-school team operating our Late Stay session which currently runs from 3.30 pm – 6.00 pm each day.
Our dedicated wrap-around care provides a stimulating environment in which children complete their homework, can be creative, relax and have fun! Late Stay is a vital provision for our working parents.
You will be working with children aged 4 – 11 years, so previous experience of providing care and activities within a childcare, play or educational environment would be an advantage.
An NVQ Level 2 qualification, or higher, related to childcare and/or play or equivalent is preferred. If not currently held, you must be willing to gain this qualification as it is a requirement for staff supervising young children. A full paediatric first aid qualification and food hygiene certificate is also desirable, or the willingness to gain these qualifications.
