These posts will focus on the development of school-age childcare provision across Surrey. Whilst school-age childcare will be your primary focus, you will also contribute to the team's wider work with the early years sector.

The ability to work on and sometimes lead projects that have met outcomes within a set timescale.

Reasonable adjustments where needed will be made for successful applicants who have a disability or long term health condition to enable them to fulfil the requirements of the job. To apply, we request that you submit a CV and you will be asked the following 5 questions: What interests you about working in the Early Years and Childcare Sector Development Team, and how does your knowledge and experience make you suitable for this role? Access to school-age childcare can be particularly challenging for some families.
