At Devonshire Primary Academy, we are looking to appoint a flexible and reliable Kids Club Worker to join our Honeycombers wraparound care team on a casual basis to provide short-notice cover for staff absence. A casual contract is a type of employment agreement where work is offered on an as-needed basis; there is no obligation for you to accept work offered and there is no obligation for the school to offer work.
The successful candidate will:
- Organise and maintain play equipment, ensuring safe and tidy storage.
- Supervise and lead play activities.
- Support children’s wellbeing through engaging and inclusive play experiences.
- Uphold behaviour standards in line with school policy.
- Be adaptable and ready to step in across different sessions with minimal notice.
- Communicate effectively with staff and children, maintaining confidentiality and safeguarding standards.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Available at the times work may be offered (7:45 - 8:45am & 15:15 - 17:15).
- Flexible and dependable, with the ability to respond quickly to cover needs.
- Confident and proactive in leading play activities.
- Committed to creating a safe, fun and supportive environment for children.

- The chance to be part of a closely connected, dedicated and hardworking staff;

- A consistent, supportive and fair approach to dealing with staff absence, which applies to all employees and covers all types of absence;
- Term time employment, allowing you to spend school holidays with family;
- Enrolment into a pension scheme – employees do not pay tax or national insurance on their pension contributions and the school add a generous employer contribution;
- Free onsite parking;
- The option to purchase a new bicycle and cycling equipment via salary sacrifice making tax and national insurance savings; and
- The opportunity to work in a school which is at the heart of its community and always looking for innovative ways to provide the best education.
