After School Care Assistant – Pre-Prep School 

If you are an enthusiastic individual with a genuine passion for supporting young children
and their families, this rewarding opportunity at Somerhill pre-prep could be the perfect fit.
As part of our dedicated After School Provision team, you will play a vital role in creating a
nurturing and stimulating environment for children aged 3–7 years, helping them develop
both academically and socially. We are seeking someone who is organised, positive, and
committed to making a meaningful difference in our pupils early years. If you hold a level 3
early childhood qualification and bring experience working with pre-school children, we
would be delighted to hear from you.
To be considered for this rewarding role, you’ll need to hold a minimum level 3 early
childhood qualification and have experience working with pre-school children. Working
hours are 2.45pm to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday, during term time only. We are looking for
someone who is genuinely passionate about supporting children’s learning and
development, able to foster warm and trusting relationships with the children, team and
parents. A genuine commitment to supporting the growth and well-being of our pupils aged
2–7 years, especially during the crucial after-school period, is essential.
This role offers a chance to make a real difference in the lives of young children, building
positive relationships with pupils, families, and colleagues alike, while supporting the
smooth day-to-day running of our After School Provision. As part of the pre-prep TA team,
you will work closely with a group of incredibly warm and experienced professionals, all led
and supported by the Lead TA. From your very first day, you will feel welcomed and truly
part of the team, with colleagues who are committed to supporting each other and helping
you thrive in your role.

Information about the school

We have a very special school here with a unique offering: the ‘best of both worlds’, the ‘ideal mix’, and the ‘place I always dreamt of finding’ are the comments we often hear from parents or visitors. With co-educational learning from 2 - 7 years, Somerhill then offers single-sex classroom lessons until children leave us for senior schools, allowing uninhibited learning and bespoke strategies for the older girls and boys with all the benefits of a co-educational setting.

Our philosophy for the children at Somerhill is straightforward: happy children want to learn. Children are happy if they can play, participate widely and start to master skills of whatever kind, and our stunning setting and outstanding facilities offer endless opportunities for children to find something that makes them smile.

We believe this website offers you the perfect glimpse into our school life. However, to fully appreciate the extraordinary education that we offer and see our vision of confident, curious and resilient children realised, we warmly invite you to visit us at Somerhill.

You will see that this really is some school, an exceptional learning environment where we grow amazing people!
