Playscheme Manager - Oxshott

Do you love working with children and inspiring others? We’re looking for a Play scheme Manager to run our breakfast and after school club at The Royal Kent School in Oxshott. This is a hands-on role where no two sessions are ever the same – one moment you’ll be setting up crafts or games, the next you’ll be chatting with parents, leading your team, or helping children settle in after school.

• Inspire your team – support and motivate Playworkers to give children the best start and finish to their school day.
• Keep it safe & smooth – manage health and safety, safeguarding, risk assessments, and daily club operations.
• Build relationships – work closely with parents and school staff to support each child’s wellbeing.
• Stay organised – support withstaff rotas, stock checks, and simple admin (around 1 hr per week as overtime).

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Creative, organised, and full of energy
• Experienced in working with children (ideally 4–11s) and leading teams
• Confident in planning and delivering a mix of activities
• A great communicator who can build trust with staff, children, and parents
• Motivated to keep children safe, happy, and inspired
