Your Role

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.


Devonshire Primary Academy is a happy, exciting and productive school with a wealth of opportunities for our children and staff. We can offer you: 

 

  • The chance to be part of a closely connected, dedicated and hardworking staff;
  • A friendly and supportive whole school staff team;
  • Opportunities for professional development;
  • A commitment to reducing staff workload and prioritising staff wellbeing – The Sea View Trust has signed up to the DfE Wellbeing Charter and Devonshire Primary Academy was named as Active Workplace of the Year 2023 at Active Lives Community Awards;
  • 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. 

 

We invite you to peruse our school website: https://www.devonshire.blackpool.sch.uk/ and our Facebook Page: Devonshire Primary Academy to gain an insight into our wonderful school.

 

The closing date for applications is 08/12/2025 at 9:00am and interviews are currently scheduled to take place on 11/12/2025. 

 

We look forward to receiving your application should you wish to apply.
