Cookham Rise Primary School - After School Club Manager; Sunset club

About Sunset Club

We are delighted to be launching Sunset Club, a brand-new after-school club at Cookham Rise Primary School. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident and caring individual to take a leading role in setting up, shaping, and running our new provision from day one.

As Sunset Club Leader, you will play a key part in creating a safe, happy, and well-organised environment where children can relax, have fun, and feel valued at the end of the school day.

This is a rewarding role with real responsibility and the opportunity to have a big impact on the daily life of our children. We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic and motivated individual to join our lovely Cookham Rise team. Ideally you will have some experience of working with children in a similar role. Training and professional development opportunities will also be available.

• Help establish routines, structure, and expectations as the club launches
• Plan and lead a varied programme of engaging activities for primary-aged children
• Ensure high standards of safeguarding, wellbeing, and behaviour
• Supervise children safely, indoors and outdoors
• Coordinate snack time and end-of-session routines
• Communicate confidently with parents/carers and school staff
• Maintain accurate registers and follow school policies and procedures

• Is confident taking the lead and enjoys building something new.

• Is calm, positive, and organised.
• Can motivate and support children and colleagues.
• Has good communication and leadership skills.

Cookham Rise is a happy and vibrant place to work, and we encourage you to visit us to see if it is the right place for you. This is a rare opportunity to lead and develop a new after-school club with support from the school’s leadership team.
