Do you have a passion for working with young children and creating fun, engaging experiences every day?
At Junior Adventures Group (JAG), we're looking for an enthusiastic and caring Nursery Activity Leader to join our Breakfast & After School Club at Christchurch, Bradford-on-Avon.
Working with children aged 3–4 years, you'll help create a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment where every child feels happy, supported and encouraged to explore, play and develop through exciting activities.
This is a split-shift role, working mornings and afternoons with a break in the middle of the day—ideal if you're looking for a role that fits around family life, study or other commitments.
There are also opportunities to work additional hours during our Holiday Clubs with older children aged 4-11 yrs if desired.
What You'll Be Doing
- Plan and deliver fun, age-appropriate activities including creative play, arts & crafts, storytelling, games, music and outdoor play.
- Create a warm, safe and welcoming environment where children can learn and develop through play.
- Supervise children throughout each session, ensuring they are happy, engaged and supported.
- Encourage children's confidence, independence and social development.
- Prepare healthy snacks and refreshments.
- Complete daily registers and ensure children are safely signed in and out.
- Set up and tidy away equipment before and after each session.
- Work closely with your team to deliver high-quality childcare.
- Follow safeguarding, health & safety and company policies at all times.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
