Working in an Out Of School Group

If you would like to work with children aged 3 to 16 years then a career in an out of school setting could be the right choice.

There are a variety of settings in York providing care for children outside of school hours and during school holidays.

There are several reasons children attend an out of school setting, including:

working parents
additional activities
recreation
short breaks (respite)
play with friends

the majority of out of school settings are located within schools, although there are a number of facilities based in other locations including:

community centres
church halls
scout huts
private nurseries
pre-schools
childminders

Settings may be run by voluntary organisations, charities, local committees or privately. If you would like to know about out of school settings in your area contact York Family Information Service.
