Our Childcare Worker will provide high quality childcare for the children of Twynham Primary School on a Friday, after school. We aim to strike a balance for our children of fun activities coupled with tasks which are productive/educational.

- hold a Level 2 Childcare qualification, or have equivalent experience in a childcare setting.
- are committed to undertaking further training or development as required.
- have a secure knowledge of child development and ways in which children can be encouraged to learn.
- have the ability to establish good relationships with children, parents and other staff, communicating clearly and sensitively. Have awareness of the need for confidentiality.
- can work co-operatively with the staff team and with parents to share knowledge and expertise for the benefit of the children.
- be committed to the principles of equality of opportunity for all.
