Hunger and poverty are having a detrimental effect on children’s ability to concentrate and engage in their school learning. Hunger often leads to lethargy and sometimes even disruptive behaviour, which ultimately leads to children not engaging in the classroom.
A childcare practitioner working in a Breakfast Café will provide a safe, secure environment before school where all children attending are provided with a healthy breakfast (ranging from cereal, toast, fruit and yoghurts).
Breakfast Cafes are drop-in services and are not registered childcare provisions. We also offer a 'toast to school' service, which may vary.
Operational hours are 7.45am-9am, including preparing and serving breakfast for children arriving from 8am or delivering toast to classrooms for children coming into school.
The Person
We are looking for someone who:
* Has understanding and experience working in a catering environment.
* Understands dietary and nutritional needs.
* Has organizational skills.
* Is willing to work as part of a team.
* Is fun, engaging, and adaptable.
In return, you will benefit from:
* Access to a wide range of professional learning and training opportunities.
Before confirming your appointment, you will be required to obtain Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme membership through Disclosure Scotland.
As this role requires SSSC registration, the successful applicant will have three months to apply for registration. If appointed, you must start your application as soon as possible to ensure registration within six months. More details are included in the role profile.
If you need to achieve a qualification to maintain your SSSC membership, information will be provided if you are appointed. You must ensure you complete the qualification within the specified timeframe.
We particularly encourage applications from men, who are currently underrepresented in this type of work.
