Cosmos Community Centre is looking to recruit a Childcare Practitioner to join its team. This is a very rewarding position, working alongside an experienced childcare team.

Working hours will be between 14:00 - 18:00 during term time, with additional hours required during Inset days and school holidays (apart from Christmas and New Year), as the Centre provides full day cover during these times.
