Are you energetic, confident, and passionate about making a positive difference in children's lives?
We're looking for enthusiastic and reliable Activity Leaders to join our amazing wraparound childcare team. This is a fantastic opportunity for recent graduates, college leavers, university students, or anyone looking to build experience working with children in a fun, rewarding environment
We have a range of roles available, including:

Regardless of the role, you'll help create a safe, engaging, and enjoyable experience for primary-aged children before and after school. Every day is different, and you'll play a key role in organising activities, encouraging participation, and ensuring every child feels welcome, supported, and valued.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading and supervising fun activities, games, and creative sessions
- Building positive relationships with children and encouraging their confidence

- Responsible, trustworthy, and able to take initiative
- Confident in communicating with children, parents, and colleagues

- Volunteering with children

If you have the right attitude, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Join Us?
We believe that if our team enjoys coming to work, the children will have a better experience too.
You'll be joining a friendly, supportive, and established team where people genuinely enjoy working together. We have very low staff turnover, with many team members returning year after year because of the positive culture we've built. We work hard, support one another, and make sure we have fun along the way.
What makes us different?
