Staff

I have worked in St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club since September 2003 as a Play Assistant and took on the role of Play Leader in September 2021. I enjoy working with the children, taking on their ideas to ensure our planning meets their needs and interests. Every day is a different adventure!

I started in May 2018 as a bank staff position before taking on the Play Assistant Position increasing to three days a week by September 2021 and becoming Play Leader (Deputy). I have worked in the on-site Pre-school since September 2013 and have had good working relationships with St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club before taking on the role. Having a background in Early Years and SEND, I try to make all activities inclusive for all children. It is also lovely to see the pre-schoolers we have taught grown up in Y6!

I started working at the breakfast club in January 2024 and enjoy giving the children a caring, happy start to their school day. In addition, I also work in the holiday club run by St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club. Previous to that I have been a member of the bank staff for the wraparound facilities.

I am currently studying my A-levels: English Literature , Chinese and Psychology. I joined St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club (OOSC) at the beginning of January 2024, and am thoroughly enjoy working and playing with the children at OOSC; drawing and creative activities are my favourite. As a former student at St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, I am enjoying being back at the school and have the best interest of the children at heart.

I started at St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club in February 2024. I work in the after school club on a Wednesday and Thursday. This is a new challenge for me and I am enjoying working with children of varying ages.

Bank staff are vital for the continued operation of St Joseph's Nympsfield Out of School Club (OOSC) as they provide cover for or supplement the OOSC's permanent staff. Typically bank staff cover sickness, absence and periods of fluctuation in child numbers.

At the OOSC we are very fortunate that two of our Bank Staff were previously permanent staff who have since taken retirement. We are very grateful to Mary Elmer and Brenda Smith for their continued support. In addition, Amia Stokes-Richardson is also a valued member of the Club's Bank Staff.
