Early Birds and Night Owls Assistant

As a Club Assistant, your role includes supervising the children, ensuring their safety at all times, engaging with them in aspects of play and conversation, setting up activities for children to optionally take part in, meet and greet parents and provide them with feedback on their child's time at the club and food preparation. The aim is to be having fun in a safe environment!

We would like to appoint a confident, proactive and creative individual to work alongside our team, as a Club Assistant, in our before and after school club. The ideal person would have some experience of working within a school, play work or childcare setting. You must be passionate and enthusiastic, able to create a fun and creative working environment for children.

Our friendly team will support you and training will be provided.
