Co-op Academy Princeville is excited to launch a brand-new afterschool club provision designed to provide a safe, fun and nurturing environment for children at the end of the school day. Our wrap-around care supports families by offering high-quality activities and a positive, enjoyable experience for all children who attend.

We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and reliable Afterschool Club Assistants to join our new team. This is an excellent opportunity to be part of an exciting new provision and play a key role in supporting children’s wellbeing, development and enjoyment after school.

As an Afterschool Club Assistant, you will support the day-to-day running of the club, helping to deliver a range of engaging, safe and age-appropriate activities. You will work closely with the Wrap-Around Care Manager and wider team to ensure children are well-supervised, happy and positively engaged throughout the session.

We are seeking individuals who are caring, approachable and passionate about working with children. You should be able to work effectively as part of a team, demonstrate good communication skills and maintain high standards of care and safeguarding at all times.

These roles offer a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to the afterschool experience for our children and to contribute to the success of a new provision within our academy.

Why us?

Be part of a supportive and forward-thinking school community that values the well-being of its students and colleagies.

Opportunities for professional development and career progression.

A rewarding role where you can make a real difference to the lives of children and their families.

All our values are based upon the values of the Co-op Group, which will inform our behaviours.

Self-help: We do not expect to be spoon fed – we will try to do things for ourselves in the right way and at the right time.

Self-responsibility: Everyone should act in a responsible way around the academy site and in the local community. We take responsibility for our own learning; we want to become independent learners.

Equality: We are proud to be part of a very multicultural academy, with students from all over the world; it is important that we treat each other with respect and accept that others may be different from ourselves. We should all of us have equal chances to succeed.

Equity: We want to look for the best in each other. Rewarding others fairly to encourage all types of achievement.

Democracy: We will contribute our ideas to make the academy a success.

Solidarity: We can achieve more by working together, rather than as individuals.
