Come and join our team…
There are many job opportunities within our Out of School Club which are all key in supporting our children and young people to access a quality play experience.
We have three key jobs which are essential to the successful delivery of Out of School Clubs.
A Childcare Practitioner’s main role is to support children and young people to take part in a wide range of play-based activities. This is likely to include arts and crafts, sports, outdoor play and outings.
Although a qualification is desirable, we can support you to gain a relevant qualification such as an SVQ Level 3 Social Services (Children and Young People).
We also have job opportunities for Childcare Practitioners to work on a casual basis across Fife. These opportunities are advertised on a monthly basis on Fife Council's Recruitment Site at www.fife.gov.uk/jobs.
To find out more, have a look at the Childcare Practitioner Role Profile.
Senior Childcare Practitioners are highly skilled, able to do all the roles of a Childcare Practitioner and also able to lead the team, take responsibility for the service on a day-to-day basis, and fill in when the manager is absent.
This role requires supervisory experience, and you must already hold a relevant childcare qualification such as SVQ Level 3 Social Services (Children and Young People).

The Childcare Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management and coordination of a group of out of school clubs.
