About the Role
Make a difference. Lead the fun. Love your job.
Are you passionate about working with children and eager to turn your leadership skills into a meaningful career? At Junior Adventures Group (JAG), we’re seeking enthusiastic individuals to lead our Breakfast & After School Clubs (and Holiday Clubs too!).
As the Childcare Setting Manager, you’ll:
- Be at the heart of an energetic children’s club, offering safety, creativity, and unforgettable play experiences for kids aged 4–11.

- Build relationships with parents, schools, and fellow team members.
This could be the perfect first step into childcare management—with the flexibility of split shifts (mornings + afternoons) and occasional holiday extras!

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
