About the role
This exciting role is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate to make a difference for children, young people and families in Brighton & Hove and West Sussex.
As Services Manager, you will be responsible for managing the smooth and efficient delivery of Extratime’s services, working with a team that shares your passion for delivering the highest standards of care and support to children, young people and their families.
This is a senior role that is responsible for operational oversight of all existing and new Extratime services. A particular focus is quality assurance: ensuring services are delivered to a high standard and fulfil the needs of children, young people and their parent carers.
Our current offer includes three after school clubs in local specialist schools, two youth clubs at our Portslade Centre and five holiday schemes across all these settings. We also run monthly family events. During the first lockdowns we established a virtual offer, ‘[email protected]’, along with lots of other creative new ways to support families. These have been vital for our families and valued by our partners and funders.

A good understanding of Health & Safety processes and their practical application in similar settings is important. Confidently and competently working with data and budgets is essential, with a keen eye for detail and a high level of accuracy.
Excellent interpersonal skills will be important to enable you to build strong and trusted relationships with families and colleagues. You will also play a key role in modelling Extratime’s values, professional behaviours and ways of working, motivating your own and the wider team.
