Make a difference. Lead the fun. Love your job.
Do you love working with children and want to turn your energy and leadership skills into something truly meaningful? At Junior Adventures Group (JAG), we’re looking for passionate people to lead our Breakfast & After School Clubs (and Holiday Clubs too!) where play, creativity, and connection come together.

As a Childcare Setting Manager, you’ll be at the heart of one of our children’s activity clubs, creating safe, exciting, and enriching experiences for children aged 4–11. You’ll lead a small team, build strong relationships with schools and families, and deliver a mix of sports, arts, games, and structured play every single day!
This could be a great first step into management.

This role is split shift, meaning you’ll work mornings and afternoons, with a break in between (great for studying, hobbies, family, or even a nap!). You’ll also have the opportunity to increase your hours during Holiday Club seasons and Lunchtime Cover.

What you’ll do day-to-day:

Greet children each morning and afternoon with fun and energy, kickstarting the day with games, sports, and positive vibes.
Lead exciting after-school activities like arts & crafts, team challenges, drama, multi-sports, and structured play.
Plan engaging sessions that are age-appropriate, inclusive, and (most importantly) fun!
Manage and motivate your team to deliver brilliant care and play experiences.
Communicate confidently with parents, your team, the host school, and central operations.
Ensure health & safety, safeguarding, and company procedures are followed with confidence and care.

What’s in it for you?

No weekend work – hooray!
Paid training and regular CPD opportunities.
Discounts for your own little ones on wraparound care & holiday clubs.
24/7 wellbeing and mental health support through Health Assured.
Recommend-a-friend rewards.
Join a fun, friendly team with a shared passion for making a difference!

What we’re looking for:

You may have worked as a Sports Coach, Teaching Assistant (TA), Playworker, Drama/Dance Instructor, NCS Leader, Scout Leader, Nursery Manager, SEN Support, Dinner Lady, Student, or even as a parent wanting a new career in childcare.

We’re looking for:

Natural leaders who are confident, caring, and creative.
Great communicators who love building relationships.
Organised planners who can manage teams and activities.
People who genuinely love working with children.

Safeguarding

This role requires compliance with the Keeping Children Safe in Education policy and is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974. You must provide two references, one from your most recent employer and the other from a childcare setting (if applicable). We will conduct a DBS check on your behalf, so please prepare the correct documentation. You must meet these requirements to be eligible for the hiring process.
