At the heart of every thriving school is a dedicated team. We’re looking for passionate individuals to join our team as an Extended Provision Assistant, offering not just a job, but the chance to contribute to a supportive and caring school environment.

As an Extended Provision Assistant, you will play a vital role in the daily life of our school, ensuring a safe, supervised and engaging environment, providing children with crucial support outside of the regular school day, fostering their academic, social, and emotional development. It's about fostering a positive environment where children feel supported, respected, and encouraged to develop social skills and healthy habits.

Why this role matters

This role provides wrap-around care for children before and after regular school hours, which creates a positive and impactful environment for both students and staff.

You act as a mentor, offering emotional support and building strong, positive relationships with the children you work with, which is a key part of the role . Other reasons that this role matters include:

Encouraging academic success: Assistants help with homework and organize enriching activities that reinforce classroom learning, which is especially beneficial for disadvantaged students. After-school care has been shown to improve attendance and attainment.

Enhancing social and emotional skills: By interacting with children in a less formal setting, assistants help them build positive relationships with peers, practice teamwork, and develop confidence and self-esteem.

Promoting well-being: Extended provision provides a safe, structured space for children to unwind and engage in productive activities, which is a healthy alternative to unsupervised free time. The enjoyment that children experience in these groups can also improve their overall attitude toward school.
