Summary
We’re a friendly, Ofsted-registered wraparound care provider based in Crawley, looking for someone reliable and enthusiastic to join our after-school club team.
You’ll be part of a small, supportive team creating a fun and relaxed environment where children can play, socialise and unwind after the school day.
This role involves working with primary school children aged 4–11, helping to run activities, supporting play, preparing snacks and helping ensure the club runs smoothly each day.
Shifts are flexible and may vary during the week, so this role would suit someone looking for a few afternoons a week rather than a full-time role.

Supporting children during free play and activities
Helping run games, crafts and other fun activities
Preparing and serving snacks
Helping set up and tidy away the club space
Creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for all children
Following safeguarding and health & safety procedures
Supporting the Club Manager with the day-to-day running of the club
What we offer
No weekend work – term time only
Staff discount for your own children attending the club
Uniform provided
A friendly and supportive team environment
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.
An Enhanced DBS check will be required (or willingness to obtain one).
We follow safer recruitment practices, including reference checks and background screening, to ensure a safe environment for both staff and children.
Please apply with a short message telling us why you’re interested in the role.
Job Type: Part-time
Part-time hours: 6 - 25 per week
