The Role





Penkridge Middle School is a thriving and inclusive school at the heart of the community, supporting pupils aged 9 to 13. We are proud to offer a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and flourish.



We are currently looking for a caring, enthusiastic, and reliable Out of School Club Playwork to support our before school provision. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and is passionate about creating a fun and supportive environment outside of the classroom.



The ideal candidate will have experience working with children of a similar age group and will be confident in managing a small group setting. Basic numeracy and literacy skills are essential, and First Aid training--particularly in paediatrics--is preferred; however, training can be provided if needed.



Working hours are mornings Monday to Friday 7.30am - 8.30am. It's a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with children and is passionate about creating a positive and supportive environment outside of the traditional school day.



Visits to the school are welcomed. Please contact Amy Griffiths (Office Manager) via email a-griffiths@penkvalley.co.uk or by telephone on 01785 413400 to arrange a call or visit.

The Trust's vision and ethos is encapsulated in our motto 'Learning Together'.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment and responsibility. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.

All staff working in the School during the school day will have contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
