Do you have what it takes to be our Wraparound Childcare and Holiday Club Manager?

Harlands Primary School is looking to recruit an experienced individual to lead our new in-house wraparound care provision which will become operational from 1 September. The anticipated start date for the role will be by arrangement, as preparatory work will be required during the school summer break

Role Purpose

We are seeking an enthusiastic, empathetic and experienced individual to join our vibrant school community in this new venture.

As our Wraparound Care Manager, you will be responsible for the entire provision. Looking after breakfast club in the morning, and a vibrant after school provision in the afternoon, you and your staff team will deliver an extensive and wide range of activities to give the children enriching and rewarding experiences

The successful candidate will need to understand and model our core values of Responsibility, Optimism, Confidence, Kindness, Critical Thinking, and Respect, playing their part in sustaining our inclusive and engaging learning environment after the day’s formal education has ended.

Key Skills and Qualities

Experience of working with children in a childcare setting
Qualifications in: safeguarding / first aid / food hygiene (ongoing training available as required)
A teaching qualification or similar is highly desirable
Experience of managing a team

This will be a full-time role, as the Manager will also be expected to organise our holiday club provision during school holidays. The annual leave entitlement will be 23 days, plus bank holidays and a minimum of four school INSET days, with attendance required at one mandatory “whole school” INSET day, usually held in September.

Core hours of work during term-time will be 6.45-9.00am each morning, and 2.45-6.30pm each evening, with additional management time of 7 hours per week (to be worked by agreement) making a 37 hour week

Holiday clubs are normally run between the hours of 8.30am-5.30pm.

All other terms and conditions will be the same as for school support staff, including automatic enrolment in the Local Government Pension Scheme – see Home :: LGPS for the benefits of this scheme.

The post-holder will also benefit from the support of a Deputy Manager who will be expected to help with holiday clubs and covering the Manager’s annual leave.
