Experience with Clearcare is an advantage, but not essential, as full training will be provided. However, all staff are expected to confidently use digital systems as part of their day-to-day role.

Essential Information

• Working on a rota basis - you will receive a monthly rota
• This is a 365 day a year job, including Christmas, new year and all the fun holidays but it is even more fun when you celebrate with the children!

• Refer a friend payment scheme
• Enrolled on to a work place pension scheme after three months of employment

• Over time paid at x1.25
• Fully paid 10-day induction course
