Due to our Pre‑School’s growth, a new opportunity has arisen to join our lunchtime team, looking after the smooth running of our dining hall and playtime. Do you love helping children to be their best and have fun? Making sure everyone has what they need, keeping things in check? No two days are the same and we really value the role our support staff play. If you’re excited by this opportunity and have a Level 3 qualification in a childcare field, we’d love to hear from you.

This role could work well in alongside our other newly-established opportunities – we have Playworker and EYFS TA adverts running concurrently which also require Level 3 qualification. Please let us know if you are interested in being considered for these.

• Support children to have great playtime
• Encourage children to enjoy their lunch, promoting good manners
• Ensure the dining hall is set up for lunchtime and packed away afterwards
• Be one of our first aiders
• Deal with matters as they arise, recording and communicating relevant information to afternoon staff

First aid and Playwork training will be provided in addition to our full induction.
