ABOUT YOU
We are inviting applications for the role of Bank Staff Workers to be part of our lovely Playgroup in Cheltenham.
If you can work with tact and diplomacy, apply judgement and common sense, and react sensitively and with emotional intelligence when dealing with the complex or sensitive circumstances of vulnerable people, then this is the perfect role for you.

ABOUT US
YMCA Cheltenham, founded in 1855, is a registered charity and has become a leading provider of supported housing in Cheltenham and Gloucester, alongside other works including the provision of sports facilities, affordable housing and other charitable activities.
Since 2014 we have grown from having just one supported housing project of 50 beds to being able to offer more than 250 beds every night, including long-term affordable accommodation, low to high level supported accommodation, and emergency homeless provision.
YMCA Cheltenham is an organisation founded on Christian values and, as such, employees may encounter aspects of the workplace particular to, or representative of, the Christian faith. Employees are not required to adhere to the Christian faith or any faith, and no such consideration is taken into account by the organisation when making employment choices or in delivering its services.
ABOUT THE ROLE
The Playgroup Bank Staff Worker is based at St Barnabas Church working in the Playgroup Team for Family Space (part of YMCA Cheltenham). You will be in charge of a number of children and will help ensure that the children have an educational and interesting visit each and every day. To be successful in this role, a Playgroup Bank Staff Worker will require a level 3 in the relevant field, or a desire to achieve this. You will be comfortable working in a team and also have the ability to manage your own workload with minimum supervision, have effective interpersonal skills and the ability to maintain good working relationships throughout the whole organisation.
ABOUT WHAT WE OFFER
We offer a salary for this position up to £9.74 per hour, working a variety of shifts from Monday to Friday and term time only.
The organisation recognise that employees need down time, or time off, so time will be given off after working shifts to ensure that you can achieve an outstanding work-life balance.
We provide a contributory pension, paid overtime, 28 days holiday inclusive of Public Holidays (increasing after 2 years with an additional extra day of holiday, up to a maximum of an additional 5 days) and up to 10 days sick pay per annum.
The organisation also offers non-contractual benefits such as life assurance, a bike-to-work scheme and free use of the organisation’s sports and gym facilities. We provide a comprehensive training programme for all staff across the organisation and are committed to helping staff progress and develop their career, as well as increase their salary levels.
We are committed to creating a dynamic and diverse workforce and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of their age, gender, disability, race or ethnicity, sexual orientation or faith. We have procedures in place to ensure that all applicants are treated fairly and consistently at every stage of the recruitment process.
YMCA Cheltenham is wholly committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all our staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
