Tea Time Club Playworker

REQUIRED FOR SEPTEMBER 2019

TEA TIME CLUB PLAYWORKER, Scale 2 Pts 3-4

Barn Croft Primary is a very special place.  We are a one form entry school where everyone believes that every child can succeed regardless of their background.  We are committed to providing an excellent education for every one of our pupils who come from a wide variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.

Our Values are:

COURAGE

LOVE

EXCELLENCE

We offer our parents after school care at our Tea Time Club every day from 3.30pm until 6pm.

We are looking for someone to join our Tea Time Club team. We are looking for someone who loves working with children from ages 4 to 11, someone who can show initiative, love & care and who believes that play is as important for children as their academic learning.

The interview will include observing your interactions with the children and the other staff at one of our after school sessions.  You will be joining a forward-thinking, professional and endlessly positive staff team who are supportive and challenging of each other in order to deliver the best for our wonderful pupils.  We have high expectations of pupils and staff but believe that strong relationships and “can-do” mind-sets are the keys to working successfully together. The behaviour of our children is very good and we support Tea Time Club staff to manage behaviour in the same way that all other staff manage it during the day.

If you are committed, reliable, hard-working and enthusiastic and dedicated to ensuring that our children have a positive and enjoyable time at their after-school provision, then Barn Croft is waiting to hear from you.  We welcome visit from anyone thinking of applying.  Please telephone the school office on 020 8521 1145 or email: school@barncroft.waltham.sch.uk.

Please complete the application form with attention to the Job Description and Person Specification.

We are committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expect staff to share this commitment.  A full enhanced DBS check is required for this post.
