Clarkston After School Service, East Renfrewshire

Childcare Practitioners

We are a busy and vibrant childcare service providing out of school care and holiday club to families across East Renfrewshire with 4 services based in Netherlee, Clarkston, Newton Mearns and Eaglesham. We currently require full-time Childcare Practitioners to join our team.

No two days are the same, so energy and creativity are a must! You might be leading an arts and crafts activity, doing some home baking, building a den, going on a bear hunt, directing a play or supervising our homework corner. We're very much child centred so the only limit to what we offer is the children's imaginations.

Now more than ever there is a big encouragement for children to spend more time outdoors. Therefore, a passion for the outdoors and an enthusiasm which can be absorbed by others would be a desirable quality.

The successful applicants will be required to meet the criteria for registration with the Protection of Vulnerable Groups Scheme, Scottish Social Services Council and will be reference checked.

Requirements: Our Childcare Practitioners must hold a relevant childcare or play-work qualification at SVQ level 3 or equivalent. This post will require registration with SSSC at Practitioner level.
