Looking for Qualified and Unqualified Sessional Childcare Practitioners

We are looking for qualified and unqualified Sessional Childcare Practitioners to come and work in our after-school clubs, Saturday clubs and holiday playschemes across Aberdeenshire.

About the Role

Our Aberdeenshire Clubs and Groups provide specialist care to children and young people with additional support needs giving their families valuable respite and therefore ideal candidates will have experience in working with children and young people with Additional Support Needs (ASN).

We have numerous roles across Aberdeenshire all of which are sessional which means candidates can work with us to choose the most suitable hours.

The salary for these roles are between £13.45 per hour and £13.79 per hour depending on your qualifications and experience.

Hours of Work

This is an ‘as and when required’ role so that we can make sure that your needs and the needs of the groups are both catered for.

Responsibilities

The successful candidates will be expected to deliver high quality early learning and childcare for children and young people; they will be expected to support the Service Manager and the existing team.

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.
