Fancy joining a team where every day is a fresh adventure?

Are you a natural when it comes to sparking children’s imaginations? LEO Academy Trust is looking for enthusiastic casual playworkers to join our vibrant team. If you’re looking for a role that’s hands-on, rewarding, and fits around your life, this could be the perfect match. We’re after someone who can help our pupils stay happy, safe, and engaged during their wraparound care.

LEO Academy Trust is a growing Trust with sites across Surrey and Sutton, please visit our website for further details.

We are looking for people to cover short term absence across the Trust as well as staff to work in our Holiday club (based at Cheam Common Junior Academy) during the school holidays. Hours are flexible. Pay will depend on the location of your assignment. Working under the guidance of our Wrapround Care team leader, you’ll be a key part of our pupils' day. You won’t just be supervising; you’ll be right in the thick of it, helping children develop socially and emotionally through play.

Your day-to-day will involve:

  • Planning and organising exciting play activities for primary-aged children.
  • Setting up play areas and equipment to ensure they are safe and inviting.
  • Preparing and serving snacks and refreshments.
  • Chatting with children about their worries or concerns, providing a supportive ear.
  • Managing fair behaviour and dealing with any minor injuries or emergencies.
  • Building great relationships with parents, carers, and colleagues.

What You Will Bring:

We need someone who is patient, flexible, and genuinely enjoys working with children. To join the team, you will need:

  • Proven experience of working within a childcare or play provision.
  • Sensitivity and understanding, with the ability to stay calm whilst things get busy.
  • Top-notch communication skills and a friendly, customer-focused approach.
  • Basic IT skills for simple tasks on computers or hand-held devices.
  • An NVQ Level 2 in Playwork is a bonus, but not essential.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
