Agile working, office base Saltisford Warwick
This is an exciting opportunity to join the wider FIS team working closely with Early Years and Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) colleagues to develop the Wraparound Childcare programme in Warwickshire.
Warwickshire County Council is a top performing two tier authority with a reputation for innovation and efficiency. If you can match our ambition to drive Warwickshire County Council forward we would like to hear from you.
Wraparound Childcare programme overview
The government’s ambition is that by 2026, all parents and carers of primary school-aged children who need it will be able to access term time childcare in their local area from 8am to 6pm, so that parents can access employment and improve labour market participation. To support this ambition, the government announced that it will provide up to £289 million of start-up funding over two academic years to support local authorities and providers in England to introduce or expand childcare provision on either side of the school day, which parents of primary school-aged children will be able to pay to access.
The Role:
We are looking to appoint a full-time team member until the end of March 2026. The role will support the designated wraparound childcare lead, HAF team leader and will work alongside the FIS Officer team, focusing on the day-to-day running of the HAF programme.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate the following skills, knowledge and abilities:

Excellent customer service skills including the ability to provide advice and guidance by telephone, email, online and face to face.
