At Junior Adventures Group (JAG), we're looking for an enthusiastic Childcare Setting Manager to lead our Breakfast & After School Club at St Paul's C of E Junior School.

This is a fantastic opportunity to manage a thriving wraparound care provision where every day is different. You'll lead a small team, build strong relationships with children, families and the school, and create a safe, welcoming environment where children aged 4–11 can play, learn and thrive.

Whether it's organising exciting sports, arts and crafts, team games, outdoor adventures or imaginative play, you'll help make every session memorable.

This is a split-shift role, working mornings and afternoons with a break in between—ideal for those looking for a role that fits around family life or other commitments. There are also opportunities to increase your hours by working in our Holiday Clubs and Lunchtime Clubs.

• Passionate about working with children.
• A confident and supportive leader who enjoys motivating others.
• Organised, reliable and able to manage a busy club environment.
• An excellent communicator who builds positive relationships.
• Creative, energetic and enthusiastic.
• Committed to delivering high-quality childcare.

Experience in childcare, education, playwork, sports coaching, youth work or a similar environment would be advantageous.

What's in it for You?

• £13.80 per hour.
• Permanent term-time only contract.
• Family-friendly hours with no weekend working.
• Opportunities to work additional paid hours during Holiday Clubs and Lunchtime Clubs.
• Paid training and ongoing professional development.
• Access to a 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme through Health Assured.
