Are you looking for a new challenge supporting children?

Fielding is a fantastic place to work. Imagine working in a school where everybody chooses to bring energy, passion and a positive attitude to the job every day.



We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic play worker with experience in play work in school or a similar childcare setting to work in during lunchtime, afternoon school and at afterschool childcare club.

Does that sound like you?

You might be just the person we are looking for!

It's important to us that the adults who care for our children during the non-teaching parts of the school day know our children well. This is why our playworkers work at lunchtime and during our childcare club. This also give us the added bonus of a short period of time each afternoon where playworkers can support some of our most vulnerable children. This could be listening to their read, playing a game or supporting their social skills.



During lunchtime we have a dedicated team of dining supervisors who manage children's mealtimes before they go out to play. Once outside our playworker team supervises and manages the outside activities for each age group.



The successful applicant would be part of a team of playworkers committed to providing an exceptional, safe and fun play experience for children from Reception to Year 6. This position is play-focused and we will be looking for candidates to demonstrate a strong understanding of this.



Your role would include:


following our Values-based ethos;

bringing energy and creative ideas for play opportunities;

supervising the children at play;

working with a large team across school;

Follow good hygiene practice when working around food.
