Wraparound & Lunchtime Assistant – Casual / Zero Hours job summary

Uffington CE Primary School is looking to appoint a number of reliable, caring and enthusiastic Casual Wraparound & Lunchtime Assistants to join our friendly team.

This is a flexible, zero-hours, term-time role, providing an opportunity to work across our breakfast club, lunchtime and after school provision when additional support is needed. The casual nature of the role means it could work particularly well for someone looking for a little extra work alongside other commitments, or someone who enjoys working with children but doesn't want the commitment of fixed weekly hours.

Working hours:
Hours will vary depending on the needs of the school and your availability. Typical sessions are:

• Breakfast Club: approximately 7:30am-9:00am

• Lunchtime: approximately 11:45am-1:15pm

• After School Club: approximately 3:00pm-5:45pm

There is flexibility around which sessions you work, and you will not be expected to commit to every session. We are looking for people who can provide occasional or regular support, depending on their availability.

About the role:
You will help us provide high-quality care and positive experiences for children outside of their classroom learning. This will include:

• Welcoming, supervising and engaging with pupils

• Supporting play, activities and positive social interaction

• Helping to provide a safe, calm and enjoyable environment

• Supporting children during lunchtime and wraparound sessions

• Preparing and serving food where appropriate

• Promoting positive behaviour and relationships

• Working as part of our wider school team

We are looking for someone who:

• Enjoys working with children and can build positive relationships

• Is reliable, flexible and able to work as part of a team

• Has a calm, caring and positive approach

• Is able to respond appropriately to the needs of different children

• Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children

Experience of working with children is desirable, although full training and support will be provided. The role would suit someone with experience in education, childcare or similar settings, as well as those looking to develop their experience.

About our school:
Uffington CE Primary School is a small, friendly village school with a strong sense of community and wonderful pupils. We are proud of our welcoming and supportive staff team and the positive relationships we build with our children and families.

Working in a small school means you really get to know the children, become part of the team and see the difference you make. If you live locally and are looking for flexible work in a positive school environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Safeguarding:
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.

Closing date: Sunday 18th October 2026
Interview dates: Thursday 22nd or Friday 23rd October 2026
