If you are a positive, dynamic person, committed to providing children with caring, high quality and fun activities, and would like to work with us to develop our new model of Extended Services excites you, then we want to hear from you!

Discovery Extended Services provides Wrap Around Care and Holiday Camp provisions across our Primary schools. We are excited to be recruiting for a range of new roles that will be based within the central Discovery Trust Extended Services Team, to further develop our current and future provision model. We have excellent staff benefits and a commitment to training and supporting the right candidates.

Discovery's aim is to ensure children that attend our Extended Services provisions are provided with an opportunity to engage in activities both indoors and outdoors, while being cared for by trusted and engaging adults. We know that providing high quality and engaging environments support the holistic wellbeing and learning for each child, which will encourage children to have a healthy body and a healthy mind. Being healthy and having access to physical and creative activities boosts children's self-esteem and confidence and supports the development of life skills such as independence, resilience, and the ability to attend to their learning.

'High-quality care is essential, not only as a service for parents but a chance for children to explore interests, make friends and experience things our school curriculum is unable to embrace because of time. I am immensely proud of the work our clubs are doing with children and the quality of provision they provide. Our out of school care is a core feature of a modern education system that needs to be affordable safe and exciting.' Paul Stone - CEO Discovery
