Nursery Practitioner (After School Club)
Hours: Monday to Friday, 3-6pm, 15 hours a week, term time only
Annual Leave: 28 days per year plus public holidays.
Location: The Vinery Centre, 20 Vinery Terrace, Leeds LS9 9LU.
Our afterschool club runs Monday to Friday during term time.
We use a 'walking bus' approach to collect children from two local primary schools.
Our after school club children are aged between 4 and 11 years old.
This is an excellent opportunity for Nursery Practitioner (level 3 and above) to develop skills and experience of working with a slightly older age group or for someone who needs to work in a role where the hours are more suited to their work/life balance, all whilst supporting children in the heart of the East Leeds community.
Rated as Outstanding by Ofsted. Jimbo’s Community Nursery provides both mainstream and specialist early years education and childcare in East End Park in Leeds. We are the only nursery in the city with a specialist playroom that supports children with additional needs.
The nursery is part of local charity, Leeds Mencap, and we’re based in a friendly, modern, purpose-built centre. We have excellent facilities and resources, and the nursery is expertly managed by our highly experienced, skilled and supportive Childcare Manager.
Alongside the nursery Leeds Mencap also offers services to children and young people with a learning disability, their families and carers. These services include activities such as youth clubs and holiday playschemes and family support, which includes informal stay and play sessions where parents can meet others in similar situations, and advice on navigating through the often-complex systems to access specialist support in school settings.
The nursery and Family Services often work together to support children and their families, and the support we offer is long-term and meaningful. In fact, some of the children who started out accessing our nursery now attend our youth club for 14–18 year-olds for young people with learning disabilities.
Leeds Mencap is committed to safeguarding all children, young people and adults at risk of harm. We expect all staff and volunteers to fully share and demonstrate this commitment. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check.
We aim for our team to reflect the diversity of people in Leeds and welcome applications from all communities. If you share our passion about all children getting the very best start in life, whatever their background and ability, we would love to hear from you.
