Name: Lauren See
Job title: Centre manager of after-school and holiday provision
Employer: Hammersmith & Fulham Council's education department
(lifelong learning, childcare, learning and play)
Salary: 24,129 - 25,533

Duties

As the centre manager, I have overall responsibility for monitoring and developing all areas of play and childcare provision at the Distillery Centre in Hammersmith, West London. My goal is to provide high quality after-school and holiday care and activities.

The needs of children and families who visit the centre are changing all the time, so it is a case of identifying their requirements and motivating staff to provide a service that meets these changing needs. Clear programmes also have to be established for staff, including supervision, training, appraisals and the delegation of tasks and responsibilities.
