We're looking for enthusiastic, reliable and energetic Childcare Activity Leaders / Playworkers to join our friendly team on a casual, zero-hours basis, supporting our Breakfast & After School Club at Shipton Bellinger Primary School.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys variety and flexibility, as you'll be covering staff holidays, sickness and busier sessions.
Please note: Although this is a casual position, when permanent contracted hours become available, they will be offered to our casual team members first where possible.
About the Role
Every day is different! You'll help create a fun, safe and welcoming environment where children aged 4–11 can play, relax and enjoy a wide range of exciting activities before and after school.
Our school has a high number of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), so experience supporting children with additional needs would be an advantage. However, a caring attitude, patience and willingness to learn are just as important.

Create a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment where every child feels valued.

What We're Looking For
-
A positive, enthusiastic and caring approach.
-
A genuine passion for working with children.
-
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
-
Reliability and flexibility to work casual shifts when required.
-
Experience in childcare, education, coaching, youth work or playwork is desirable but not essential.
-
Experience supporting children with SEN is welcomed but not essential, as training and support will be provided.
What's in it for You?
-
Competitive hourly pay.
-
Flexible casual working to fit around your commitments.
-
Additional hours available during Holiday Clubs.
-
Paid training and ongoing professional development.
-
24/7 Employee Assistance Programme through Health Assured.
