Horsham, United Kingdom Rocketeers Childcare Full time

About Us

At Rocketeers Childcare, we strive to provide a high-quality wraparound provision for primary school aged children in West Sussex. As such, we have devised high quality breakfast & afterschool clubs that operate 5-days a week, during term time. It is against this backdrop that you could join a team who work as a collaborative unit to deliver the best possible experience for everyone who makes use of our services.

The Role

Our friendly and enchanting team share a commitment to ensuring that all children in our care are having fun, while always keeping them safe, promoting their independence and ensuring they are thriving in a genuinely happy environment. This makes for a spectacularly fantastic workplace, so we are confidently that you will excel at Rocketeers Childcare.

Every day will present you with new challenges, but across the board you can expect to help children develop their social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional skills through play. This will involve delivering a wide array of activities including, sports, arts and crafts, and games. Working on-site at one of our multiple locations, you will engage closely with the children, working toward developing positive relationships with not only them but their families too.

About You

With plenty of patience and empathy, you’ll have a natural inclination towards working with children. While you don’t specifically need to have previous experience in a role like this, it would be undeniably advantageous if you have previously worked with children or if you have an NVQ in healthcare - or you will be willing to work towards achieving this.

**Crucially, you will be able to work wraparound hours (7:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. & 2:30 p.m. - 6:15 p.m.) on a term-time only contract.**

In return, you will benefit from being in the most fulfilling working environment, with the scope to develop skills that will set you up for a great career.
