After School Club Assistant (fixed term) - St Mark’s Church of England Primary School (One Exce[...]

St Mark’s Church of England Primary School requires an After School Club Assistant to support children with wraparound care. We can offer a supportive team environment and ongoing professional development, as well as the experience of working with our wonderful children.

At St. Mark’s, every child is distinct in their own way, and we want their primary education to be as distinct as them. We aim for each child to strive for academic success in all areas by generating a real love for learning and offering them experiences that allow them to understand the world around them.

You will have experience working with children, which may be within a school or childcare setting. You will possess strong teamwork skills, be caring, self-motivated, and patient. An After School Club Assistant needs to ensure that all our children have a meaningful after school club experience every day:

• Create a safe and stimulating environment providing social, active and creative play experiences for all.
• Ensure that children remain within a safe environment, and that they play safely.
• Set suitable behaviour standards in line with school policy.
• Help children acquire social skills.
• Attend to minor accidents, and seek appropriate assistance if necessary.
• Attend to any pupil who becomes ill, and again seek appropriate assistance.
• Report to the Head Teacher/Senior Supervisor any acts that constitute serious infringements of school rules.
• Work under the direction of the teaching staff.
• Liaise effectively and professionally with staff, teachers, and parents, as required.
• Participate in training and other learning activities and performance development as required.
• Show a duty of care and take appropriate action to comply with Health & Safety requirements at all times.
• Demonstrate and promote commitment to Equal Opportunities and to the elimination of behaviour and practices that could be discriminatory.
