£25.5-27.5k (dependent on experience and qualifications)

Location: Chislehurst/Bromley, with a Catford Head Office

Working pattern: 12-6pm Term-Time and 7:30am-6pm during school holidays as a holiday camp manager

Our client is a growing children’s sports and activities provider in South East London, running wraparound care, after school clubs and Ofsted-registered holiday camps in partner schools across Bromley and Lewisham. They’re looking for a Wraparound Childcare Manager to lead their after school provision in the Chislehurst area and run holiday camps during the school holidays.

With afternoon-only hours in term time, this role gives you your mornings back while still offering real responsibility. You’ll lead your own team, be the person parents and the school rely on, and help shape afternoons that children genuinely look forward to. When the holidays come round, you’ll take charge of busy, energetic camps that are full of sport, music and fun.

On offer is a salary of £25.5-27.5k depending on experience, a friendly team with regular company events, and the chance to grow with a business that’s expanding across South East London.

Key responsibilities:

• Daily operations: Oversee the day-to-day running of after school clubs, including activity planning, attendance and a safe, welcoming environment.

• Team leadership: Lead and manage the wraparound team, including rotas, training, development and performance management.

• Activities: Plan age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, positive behaviour and plenty of fun.

• Compliance: Make sure the provision meets Ofsted requirements and follows the school’s safeguarding, child protection and health and safety policies.

• Relationships: Build strong relationships with parents and carers, and manage the day-to-day relationship with the client school.

• Holiday camps: Manage holiday camps during the school holidays, leading staff and keeping every day safe and well run.

• Performance: Deliver the team’s key performance indicators and help the provision grow.

About you:

• Childcare experience: You have proven experience in childcare, teaching, nannying or a similar role supervising and caring for children.

• Leadership: You’re confident leading a team and organising busy sessions while staying calm and flexible.

• Knowledge: You understand child development, safeguarding and what good practice looks like in an Ofsted-registered setting.

• Communication: You’re warm and clear with children, parents, staff and school partners.

• Qualifications: A Level 2 (or above) childcare qualification is a strong bonus, as most sites include preschool-age children.

• Driving: A full UK driving licence is a bonus but not essential.

What’s in it for you:

• A salary of £28-30k depending on experience.

• Company pension and sick pay.

• Childcare benefit.

• Regular company events.

• Some flexibility to work from home once you’re settled in.

• Variety across the year, from term-time wraparound to holiday camps.
