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.

What your days could look like:

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
Help with the delivery, monitoring and evaluation of our practice.
Ensure that childcare opportunities are conveyed to parents and carers and understand that feedback is vital to the development of the Kids Zone and its services.
Report and recording and incidents/accidents of concern, to the Kids Manager
Ensure attendance registers and admission forms are completed by parents/ guardian
Ensure the security and safety of children always and to have input into the risk assessments and department policies.
Help the Manager to ensure child protection, national and local policies and procedures are adhered to at all times
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

Job skills & requirements:

Proven experience of delivering childcare and play opportunities
Proven experience of working with children aged 6 months to 12 years of age
A recognised and relevant NVQ level 3 qualification or equivalent, in early years and childcare
A minimum 2 years' experience of working in an Ofsted registered childcare setting within the EYFS framework
