Are you an energetic, creative, and dependable member of our school team looking for a new challenge? We are seeking an internal candidate to join our breakfast club 

In this role, you will be the "boots on the ground," driving the daily energy of our sessions and ensuring every child feels safe, included, and inspired to play.

The Role

Working under the guidance of the Before and After School Club Manager, you will be responsible for the "front-line" success of our club sessions. Your primary focus will be on child engagement and operational safety.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading Play: Taking the lead on daily activities, from high-energy sports and games to creative arts and crafts.

• Safeguarding: Acting as a vigilant presence to ensure the safety and well-being of all pupils in line with school policies.

• Health & Safety: Maintaining a clean and safe environment, including precise management of food hygiene and allergen awareness during breakfast times.

• Positive Relationships: Building strong rapport with children and providing a professional, friendly point of contact for parents at drop-off and pick-up.

• Teamwork: Supporting the Club Manager in the smooth running of the setting and assisting with daily setup/pack-away.

What We Are Looking For

We want someone who truly enjoys being in the thick of it with the children. You should be:

• Engaging: Able to capture children's imaginations and encourage participation.

• Responsible: A calm head in a busy environment with a sharp eye for safeguarding.

• Knowledgeable: Aware of (or willing to be trained in) food safety standards—knowing your way around an allergen folder is a must!

Requirements & Training

• Current employment within the school.

• A commitment to maintaining high safeguarding standards.

• Willingness to undertake a Food Hygiene and Allergen Awareness training.
