Descripción
Do you want to experience childcare in a different light? Do you live for the smiles your ideas bring to kids' and adults' faces alike? Do you forge bonds quickly and thrive on a varied working day where imagination, play and the wonder of the outdoors take centre stage?

We're looking for a bright, lively, positive early years professional to help lead our Kids' Zone family and ensure children who join us have stellar experiences.

We don't believe in paperwork-based assessments and know the true power of play, indoors and out.

If you're an experienced leader, with the relevant NVQ level 3 childcare qualifications and a likeminded view of what it takes to bring out the best in every child whatever their needs and learning styles, it's you we're looking for.

You'll be a true team player with a love for the outdoors, able to spot the little things that make a difference and see where others need help and advice.

You'll be full of fresh ideas to make each Kids' Zone session shine, from supporting team development to pre-planning activities, as well as doing 'in-the-moment planning' and 'loose parts' play.

In return for your energy and commitment, you'll find yourself in a team with a shared outlook on life where friendship, connection, flexibility, variety and challenge make every working day worthwhile.

Continue the responsibilities of the Kids Manger or Deputy when they are not on duty
Deliver quality play sessions for all children within the Kids Zone
Play a key role in planning and organisation of activities and resources

Work with the Manager to write, develop and implement policies and procedures for the setting, in line with the relevant legislation
Ensure that the cleaning and sterilisation of all equipment used in play sessions is carried out
