Are you ready to take the lead, support a fantastic team and make every Breakfast and After School Club session somewhere children genuinely love to be?

You'll take the lead in delivering a safe, fun, engaging and inclusive club, supporting your team while ensuring our Nursery and Reception children receive high-quality care alongside the wider club.

🎓 Level 3 Early Years Qualification – Essential

⚠️ Please only apply if you hold a recognised Level 3 Early Years / EYFS Childcare qualification.

This is an essential requirement for this particular role due to the age of the children attending our club, including Nursery and Reception-aged children.
