This is a term time only setting.
Hours required:
2.30pm - 5.30pm
Working with children is not easy, you need a sense of humour, a strong stomach and nasal pallet (we deal with sick and poo daily), you need lots and lots of patience's (you will hear the same sentence and story over and over again, you must have the ability to look surprised and excited each time as if it was the first time you have heard it). A general assistant's role at Gipsey Bridge afterschool club is the heart of the setting, children will share their worries, fears, happiness and excitement with you, your colleagues will reply on you and the parents will share their news with you.
This is the only job you will hear phrases like 'that poo is sooo big I will have to cut it up' and 'I've got a bogey stuck up my nose'...... it is a deeply rewarding role providing a sense of achievement each and everyday.
