From staff inductions through to your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), we are here to support you all the way. We are here to celebrate your goals and your successes with you.

Children and their families can expect high quality childcare and play opportunities at OSCAHS. We aim to provide a world-class service, where OSCAHS is the children’s first choice of where they want to be.

We believe that happy staff mean happy children. Children thrive when inspirational people surround them. Therefore, we are looking for people to join us who are:

  • Fun and can make children laugh
  • Passionate about children’s play and the importance of Playwork
  • Caring and sensitive to the needs of children and their families
  • Positive role models for children and young people to look up to

 

OSCAHS has provided high quality childcare and play services since 2005. We work closely with our host schools to create a bespoke out-of-schools package that ensure every child is at the centre of everything we do. Our colleagues are committed to the vision and high expectations we have created together, and we are looking for like-minded individuals to join us on our journey.

We follow strict safer recruiting policies and ensure that all our colleagues receive the relevant safeguarding training, as well as other relevant training, and DBS enhanced disclosures to enable them to work safely.
