Job description
A family local to Cobham needs a patient and kind childcarer to help look after their 8 year old daughter after school.
The part time job is about 9-15 hours a week and mostly in the afternoons so you can have your evenings and weekends free for yourself!
We're looking for someone to become a valued part of our family life and work in our home. You'll spend your afternoons out and about with the children, or doing fun activities at home like board games or baking and helping with simple meals and homework.
You will help out with the school run, preparing snacks, and using your valuable life experience to support us to raise happy, curious, and confident kids.
What you'll be doing:
After-school pickups (usually just one school)
Helping with homework, preparing snacks and easy meals
Keeping the kids busy with time in the park, playground, garden or home
Doing fun activities together, like board games, arts and crafts, or baking (if you have a special skill or passion – we usually find children love to learn this too)
This job is managed by Koru Kids so there are a number of perks and benefits:
Most roles are for 9-20 hours a week on a flexible schedule
Koru Kids will make sure everything is above board. We take care of contracts, sick pay, holiday pay and most importantly make sure you're paid correctly and on time
You'll get paid from £12.20 - £14.75 per hour (inclusive of holiday pay) dependent on experience
We'll cover the cost and provide insurance for you
We only match you with local families - no long commutes!
You'll receive free nanny training, first aid training, an enhanced DBS check and insurance [worth over £300!]
We'll support you every step of the way with continued development with free CACHE registered courses and 1:1 coaching
You'll love this role if:
You've raised your own children and love spending time with kids
You've worked with children before as a volunteer, babysitter or au pair
You're a trained childcare professional with experience in nurseries or schools
You're looking for a part-time job that's fulfilling and meaningful
There are 4 pay tiers that make sure you get paid fairly and based on your experience.
Tier 1 - £11.85 - £13.35 per hour - for nannies with adhoc childcare experience such as a babysitter, volunteer or similar
Tier 2 - £13.35 per hour - if you've raised your own family and had 1+ years experience working with children
Tier 3 - £14 per hour - You've worked as a professional childcarer such as a teaching assistant, in a nursery or a nanny for 2 years
Tier 4 - £14.50 per hour - You've worked as a professional childcarer such as a teaching assistant, in a nursery or a nanny for 3 years
Is it a great job? Here's what our nannies say:
"Going part-time changed my life. I'm much more in control of my life, I have time for my family and hobbies. Working at Koru Kids has given me that flexibility I needed."
