New Covenant AcademySpringfield, MO

About The Position

New Covenant Academy is seeking qualified adult candidates (18 years or older) for the part-time Extended Child Care Services Staff Position for the before- and after-school program offered to students in grades Jr. K-8. Duties include providing a safe atmosphere for all children, providing activities during the extended hours as scheduled, maintaining controls on the arrival and departure of children attending Extended Care, and reporting time charges for Extended Care as requested by the Business Office. This is an excellent role for education, childcare, or children's ministry majors. Working hours will vary slightly based on the campus location, but generally run between the hours of 6:15 a.m. to the start of school (8:15 a.m.) and 2:45 pm (school dismissal time) to 6:00 p.m. in the evening. The Jr. Kindergarten schedule is slightly different from the rest, with a later start and end time, and it meets once a week on Thursdays, with the shift starting at 2:00 pm. We are hiring for immediate placement. Extended Care Child Services are not offered on days when the school is closed or operates on a half-day for professional development; therefore, workers are not scheduled on those days. The schedule can be somewhat flexible, and the individual can choose to work mornings only, afternoons only, or a split shift (both morning and afternoon) if they wish to work as many hours as possible.
