About the Role
We are looking for a caring, enthusiastic and reliable After School Club Assistant to join our team at Lift Trinity. This is an exciting opportunity to help create a fun, safe and engaging environment where children can learn, play and thrive after the school day. You will help organise and deliver a range of engaging activities, ensuring every child feels safe, included and supported. Your role will be key in helping the club run smoothly each day, creating an environment where children can enjoy their time, develop new skills and build positive relationships.

Our goal is to provide a safe, stimulating and supportive environment where children develop a genuine love for life, learning and play. We offer rich and inspiring learning opportunities that enable our pupils to achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong passion for learning. By the time our children leave Trinity, we want them to be confident, respectful and well prepared for the future, equipped with the knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive in life.
