The Role

One of our team members is leaving to begin their teacher training so we wish to appoint a well-motivated, Out of School Playworker. If you have childcare experience and would like a part-time working pattern, this role may give you all flexibility you need allowing you more time in your day for other commitments. This position is ideal for a Teaching Assistant who desires additional hours, or a Teacher who would like to step away from the pressures of teaching, yet still allowing the ability to work with children in a part-time environment. If you have experience of working with children, this maybe the change you need. We would welcome applications from internal Kings Priory School staff or student leavers.

We are looking for a dynamic, energetic and well organised individual to assist in the operation of our Out of School Club. Your role will be to ensure all children are safe and feel secure and that the provision you offer is consistent, effective and of a high standard. You will need to be able to build trusting relationships with children from the ages of 4 - 11 years old and provide positive feedback to parents and carers. You will need to be aware of maintaining high standards of care and follow policies and procedures in relation to safeguarding. In return we can offer a welcoming, experienced and supportive team in a well-resourced and attractive environment.
