About the Role

After School Club Assistant

Previous experience is not essential, as training will be provided. We are looking for someone with a caring and patient manner, and an interest in supporting children to enjoy a varied range of activities through positive guidance and encouragement.

After School Club Supervisory Assistant

For this role, experience of working with primary aged children is required, alongside an interest of children’s play and emotional needs, and a sound understanding of health and safety.

Westdene After School Club is a busy and lively environment, so fresh activity ideas, energy and enthusiasm are always appreciated. The role may include providing personal care for some of our younger Preschool and Reception pupils. Paediatric First Aid and Food Hygiene courses are required so either an up to date qualification or a willingness to undertake the necessary training is required.

Encouraging a diverse workforce

Brighton and Hove is known and loved for its diversity. Not only is the mixture of people, culture and skills vital to the economic and social development of the city, it's what makes Brighton & Hove such a great place to live, work and visit.
