Join Featherby Infant & Junior School as a Breakfast Club Support Worker

Hours:  10 hours per week Mon - Friday 7 am - 9 am  Contract: Permanent Time Time Only: 39 weeks per year  

At the Featherby Partnership, we’re proud of our nurturing and inclusive wraparound provision, where every child begins their day feeling safe, supported, and ready to learn. We’re now looking for a dedicated Wraparound Support Worker to join our friendly morning team and help us make this vital service even better.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a setting where your warmth, reliability, and care will make a daily difference to children aged 4–11. Whether you’re an experienced childcare professional, a teaching assistant seeking flexible hours, or someone looking to build their career in education, we’d love to hear from you.

About The Role

As part of our extended day provision, you’ll be responsible for:

• Creating a welcoming and calm environment where children can start their day positively

• Leading and supporting activities to engage pupils of all ages

• Helping children with breakfast and preparing them for a smooth transition into class

• Promoting good behaviour, kindness, and independence

• Supporting the safety and wellbeing of all pupils, following safeguarding procedures at all times

You’ll work closely with our Wraparound Lead and wider school staff to ensure consistency and communication, and will build positive relationships with both pupils and parents.

Who You Are

We’re seeking someone who is:

• Confident working with children from Reception to Year 6

• Proactive, positive, and calm under pressure

• A good communicator, able to work as part of a team and follow routines

• Committed to inclusion, safety, and wellbeing

• Reliable and punctual, with a sense of humour and a caring nature

Experience in a school or childcare setting is desirable, but not essential – training and support will be provided.

What We Offer 

• A welcoming, family-centred environment, where everyone plays a key role

• Bespoke training and CPD, with online learning and in-person sessions

• A community approach, including home visits that help build trust and understanding

• Local Government Pension scheme & National terms & conditions

• Comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme

• Early salary access scheme and financial advice (Wagestream)
