We are looking for a dedicated and creative Wraparound Care assistant to join the thriving wraparound care provision at our friendly and welcoming primary school. This role is perfect for someone who enjoys creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children at the end of the school day.
Key Responsibilities
• Plan and deliver engaging activities that cater to a range of interests and age groups
• Ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all children attending the club
• Supervise and support children's play, social interactions, and well-being
• Communicate effectively with parents, school staff, and external agencies as needed

The successful applicant will:

Our school offers:
• happy, enthusiastic children who enjoy coming to school
• a highly motivated, friendly and caring staff team
• excellent opportunities for professional development and support
• the support of a committed Governing Body and Leadership Team
Standard term time only pay is calculated on the basis of the following:
• Number of ‘teaching’ weeks – 38 weeks; plus
• Public (bank) holidays – 1.6 weeks (8 days); plus
• Individual leave entitlement - 5.4 weeks (27 days) or 6.4 weeks (32 days)
Individual leave entitlement is calculated on the length of continuous service. Employees with less than 5 years’ service will receive 27 days annual leave. Employees with more than 5 years’ service will receive 32 days annual leave. For example:
Calculation for employees with less than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 27 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 45 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments
Calculation for employees with more than 5 years’ service:
38 weeks (term time) + 32 days (annual leave) + 8 days (public holidays) = 46 weeks’ pay, to be paid in 12 equal monthly instalments.
