A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join the team of our small village primary school. We have a friendly and dedicated staff who maintain close relationships with our community so that the school maintains a ‘family’ feel. We can offer fantastic children and work in a beautiful location. We are seeking a caring, hardworking and responsible individual who can make a real difference to children’s lives.

We are starting up new wraparound care provision before and after school and are seeking an assistant to lead this. The hours that this provision will run are 8:00am - 9.00am, and 3:30pm - 6:00pm. There is the possibility that these can be separated into different roles. Duties include organisation of resources and setting up, ensuring a calm and safe arrival of children, registration, preparation and serving of food, ensuring the safety of the provision, and leading play-based activities with children.
