Slough Sure Start Service is part of the education and children’s services directorate within Slough Borough Council.

We are very pleased to be involved in the creation of new children’s centres across the town, which will provide a range of services within local neighbourhoods to families with young children. Three centres have already been built and a fourth is due to be completed in November. Further centres are planned for the future.

We are, therefore, seeking to appoint enthusiastic and motivated childcare professionals with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills to a number of exciting posts within our service.

The centres manage a local authority children’s centre, providing high quality day care and ‘wrap around’ childcare for babies and children from 3 months to 5 years and out of school hours childcare for primary school children.

We are looking for people who are able to work flexibly, including evenings, breakfast times and occasional weekends.

As a senior member of staff you will work directly with specific age groups of children, working in close liaison with childcare leaders in children’s centres or with childcare supervisors in activity clubs. You should hold an NVQ level 3 qualification (or equivalent) in childcare or play work.
