About us:
2025 was a phenomenal year for RAFAKidz! Our special awards include Nursery Group of the Year Nursery World, Medium Sized Nursery Group of the Year National NMT Nursery Awards, Outdoor Learning Environment National NMT Nursery Awards. Just like our children, our waiting lists are growing! In each of our settings we create experiences that are special, unique and child focused. Our staff are specially selected for their loving and caring nature, as well as their expertise. The needs of military families are unique, and at RAFAKidz we take extra care to make sure those needs are met. For every child that comes through the doors of RAFAKidz, no matter their ability, background or circumstances you could provide experiences and opportunities that will help them be confident and reach their potential.
About you:
Our Play Workers responsibilities at our busy out of school clubs include ensuring safety for children on the walk to and from school and setting up an attractive and exciting play space ensuring that hygiene and health and safety standards are met. A basic food safety certificate would be desirable as refreshments and snacks will be provided for the children. You will need to understand the principles of safeguarding children and be willing to undertake all development opportunities offered. This post requires a satisfactory, enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check on appointment and every three years thereafter.
