About the Role: Every day is different! You'll help create a fun, safe and welcoming environment where children aged 4–11 can play, relax and enjoy a wide range of exciting activities before and after school. Our school has a high number of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), so experience supporting children with additional needs would be an advantage.

- Create a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment where every child feels valued.
- Support children throughout club sessions, encouraging confidence, friendships and independence.

- Follow safeguarding, health & safety and company policies at all times.
What We're Looking For:
- A positive, enthusiastic and caring approach.
- A genuine passion for working with children.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
- Reliability and flexibility to work casual shifts when required.
- Experience in childcare, education, coaching, youth work or playwork is desirable but not essential.
- Experience supporting children with SEN is welcomed but not essential, as training and support will be provided.
What's in it for You?
- Competitive hourly pay.
- Flexible casual working to fit around your commitments.
- Additional hours available during Holiday Clubs.
- Paid training and ongoing professional development.
- 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme through Health Assured.
