Opportunity to take on additional responsibility for the right candidate (Club Lead role)

What we’re looking for

Someone friendly, positive and enthusiastic

Reliable and punctual, as the club relies on staff being on time each day

Comfortable working with primary school aged children

Able to work well as part of a team

Experience working with children or in a similar environment is beneficial

Experience could include roles such as Teaching Assistant, sports coach, playworker, childcare assistant, student studying childcare or education, or anyone who enjoys working with children.
