Playscheme Manager – Royal Kent School, Oxshott
Bring the fun. Lead the team. Make every school day brighter.
Do you love working with children and inspiring others? We’re looking for a Playscheme Manager to run our breakfast and afterschool club at The Royal Kent School in Oxshott. This is a hands-on role where no two sessions are ever the same – one moment you’ll be setting up crafts or games, the next you’ll be chatting with parents, leading your team, or helping children settle in after school.
At Clubland, we’re a small, family-run business passionate about creating safe, fun, and enriching experiences for children aged 4–11. Our managers are at the heart of this – bringing energy, creativity, and leadership every day.
The Role
As Playscheme Manager, you’ll:
- Lead the fun – oversee child-led play, crafts, cookery, outdoor activities, and games.
- Inspire your team – support and motivate Playworkers to give children the best start and finish to their school day.
- Keep it safe & smooth – manage health and safety, safeguarding, risk assessments, and daily club operations.
- Build relationships – work closely with parents and school staff to support each child’s wellbeing.
- Stay organised – support with staff rotas, stock checks, and simple admin (around 1 hr per week as overtime).
About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Creative, organised, and full of energy
- Experienced in working with children (ideally 4–11s) and leading teams
- Confident in planning and delivering a mix of activities
- A great communicator who can build trust with staff, children, and parents
- Motivated to keep children safe, happy, and inspired
Desirable extras: childcare/playwork qualifications (Level 2/3), Paediatric First Aid, Food Hygiene, Safeguarding training, or experience with EYFS/Ofsted standards – but don’t worry if you don’t have them yet, we provide full training!
