Discovery Extended Services provides Wrap Around Care and Holiday Camp provisions across our Primary schools. We are recruiting for a range of new roles that will be based within the central Discovery Trust Extended Services Team, to further develop our current and future provision model. We offer excellent staff benefits and a commitment to training and supporting the right candidates.

Discovery's aim is to ensure children attending our Extended Services provisions are provided with an opportunity to engage in activities both indoors and outdoors, while being cared for by trusted and engaging adults. We believe high quality and engaging environments support the holistic wellbeing and learning for each child, which will encourage children to have a healthy body and a healthy mind. High-quality care is essential, not only as a service for parents but a chance for children to explore interests, make friends and experience things our school curriculum is unable to embrace because of time.
