 About the Role

We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic and reliable Childcare Assistant to join our team at Bulford St Leonard’s Primary School.

Working closely with the Childcare Leader, you will play a key role in the day-to-day running of the provision, helping to deliver a safe, engaging and nurturing environment where children can relax, socialise and take part in enjoyable activities outside of the school day.

Initially, the role will focus on supporting the after-school club, with the opportunity to expand into breakfast club provision from September 2026, as the service continues to grow. This makes it an ideal role for someone looking for a position with the potential for additional hours and development.

  • Build positive relationships with children, parents, school staff and colleagues
  • Ensure the safety, well-being, and enjoyment of all children in the club
  • Follow safeguarding, health & safety and behaviour policies at all times

 What We’re Looking For

  • Experience working with children, paid or voluntary (preferred)
  • A caring, positive and can‑do attitude
  • Someone dependable, approachable and happy to get stuck in
  • A relevant childcare, play work or teaching assistant qualification (desirable, but not essential)
  • Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene and Safeguarding qualifications (desirable - training can be provided)
  • The ability to obtain an enhanced DBS certificate

 Additional Benefits

  • Equipment, resources and uniform provided
  • Opportunities to progress within the company via increased responsibility and promotions
  • Private Health Care (via Salary Sacrifice)
  • Free PH ActiveEd/PH Camps childcare places (for children aged 4+)
