We are seeking a Wraparound Care Assistant to assist with the setting up and smooth running of after-school care provision at the school to ensure high quality and varied activities for pupils to enjoy in a relaxed and calm environment at the end of the school day.

The ideal candidate for this role will have good communication skills, an enthusiasm and enjoyment of working with children and be confident in dealing with parents and the community.

This is a fixed term variable hours contract until July 2025 and the initial hours will be 12.5 hours per week, term time only.

We are a new school that opened in September 2022 and will, over the next few years, grow in size so that we have up to 236 children between the ages of 3 and 11 who all have a love of learning that has been ignited through ‘Learning Beyond the Classroom’.

Through out partnership with other schools within our Kernow Learning family we are building a foundation for lighting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning where they can flourish, thrive and form friendships with nature inspired learning at the heart of all we do.

At the very roots of our education is our partnership with the Eden Project where our Nursery children can enjoy exploring play-based opportunities and our outdoors environment. We know this approach leads to significant benefits for children’s health, happiness and wellbeing.

Our School values flow through our everyday ways of being – inspiring, creative, active, nurturing, connected and curious and include children, families and our community. They are also reflective of our Trust’s Core Shared Values as well as our Trust Philosophy of ‘work hard, be honest & help others’.

Kernow Learning is a multi-academy trust of 21 primary schools in Cornwall. We believe that our trust is at the precipice of something great; through a mix of collective synchronicity and autonomy, our schools are working together to provide strength so that they can stretch their offer beyond expectations in their drive for excellence. Our trust is not insular; we embrace collaboration, innovation, and development. Our English Hub supports schools across Cornwall to secure children’s early reading, whilst our Teaching School Hub, as a partner in OneCornwall, provides services to schools across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in relation to areas such as the Early Career Framework and National Professional Qualifications.

As well as offering great schools to work in, wonderful children to work with, and fantastic colleagues to work alongside, our Trust is committed to providing colleagues with other benefits that make your employment with Kernow Learning the best it can be. We offer:

· A competitive salary and membership of Local Government Pension Scheme;

· A range of CPD and training opportunities, both internally and externally, learning from local and national speakers and specialists to support your professional growth;

· The support and skills of our networks of colleagues both within our schools and our Shared Services teams.
