At BVPS, being active is an important part of school life, and we want this to continue beyond the school day. Our Kids Club should give children plenty of opportunities to move, play, explore and have fun, alongside creative, social and quieter activities. We are looking for a manager who can bring fresh ideas and develop a varied programme that encourages children to be active and engaged.

The successful candidate will be responsible for leading the Kids Club team, planning and delivering engaging activities and ensuring children are provided with a safe, caring and enjoyable environment. The formal role includes planning and evaluating high-quality play opportunities, alongside responsibility for safeguarding, health and safety and relevant EYFS requirements.

Working hours: Monday – Friday - 2.00pm – 6.00pm
