About Us

Camden is listening to everyone, including you. We’re giving a platform to people inside and outside our community. Because, we’re not just home to the UK’s fast-growing economy. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today. And we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind.

The Role

Adult Community Learning encourages and supports adults to make their first steps back into learning and so become more active economically, in their families and communities, and maintain better health. We operate in Learning Centres, Schools, Children’s Centres, Nurseries, Community Centres and a wide variety of venues across Camden that offer adult learning courses. Alongside our adult learning classes we offer a crèche service for our learners with children under the age of 4.

You will be working as part of a small team committed to providing a high quality service. We work in partnership with all parents and carers to enable the children within the crèche to reach their full potential.

Hours are negotiated based on your availability and the adult learning service programme on a termly hour’s contract. The majority of our classes run during term time over a maximum of 12 weeks. The crèche sessions are 2.25 hours and we have sessions running in the morning (e.g. 9:20-11:35) and afternoon (e.g. 12:50-15:05). During our operating times you are likely to be offered between 2.25-4.5 hours a week (1-2 sessions).
