We aim to provide a stimulating and structured environment in which every child will be encouraged to reach their full potential.

We are looking to appoint a Caretaker to work 15 hours per week, 4pm to 7pm Monday to Friday, however, flexibility is essential to work additional hours as required, which will include covering sickness/holiday absences.
