Due to the promotion of the previous postholder, the Governors of Archbishop Runcie Church of England VA First School wish to appoint a part time After School Club Assistant, to start as soon as possible to further extend our current wraparound offer.
We are a welcoming Church of England school with happy, well behaved and highly motivated children and a dynamic, passionate and hardworking staff team. We have high expectations of ourselves and the children. Parents are highly supportive of the school.
This is an exciting opportunity to work as part of our expanding wraparound provision to further advance our school offer. The post will include serving children breakfast and/or snack and engaging children in a range of activities during their time in the club. It will be an opportunity to play a full part in the continued development of our vision for all our children to become confident, secure, caring individuals who flourish in the love of God.
This post is suitable for an experienced childcare or supervisory assistant and/or someone with a good level of qualification.
What does it involve?
Contract 2 School Holidays*
We are looking to extend our current offer and establish a holiday club that will run during school holidays. The vision is for this to Monday to Friday during the school holidays each year.
*Please note, once the appointed person reaches their 5 year anniversary, their working weeks will reduce from 7.2 weeks to 6.4 weeks to compensate for the increase in annual leave. This will mean that if the successfully appointed candidate has less than 5 years service upon appointment they will be entitled to 7.2 weeks of annual leave and bank holidays. If they have more than 5 years service, they will be entitled to 6.4 weeks of annual leave and bank holidays. This brings the total weeks paid to 51.98 over the 2 contracts and either 45.4 weeks worked with less than 5 years service and 44.6 weeks worked with more than 5 years service. There is one training day included. Two weeks mandatory leave will be over the Christmas break and other remaining leave can be taken within certain parameters, with prior agreement of the Headteacher.
