I hope you don't mind me posting here but I know that all you lovely ladies and gentlemen will be able to help.
I am the chair of the committee which runs the after school club at our local primary school (I'm also a school governor there even though my DS is only 17 months!)
Our lovely manager retired at the end of last term and we are finding it really hard to recruit a replacement, even though I'm sure there are loads of people who have the right qualifications, experience etc. We can't afford to spend £1000+ to advertise in our local paper so I'm looking at advertising elsewhere but I don't know where to start. Do any of you know any childcare websites where I could advertise, or any other organisations which might be able to help?
Any thoughts gratefully received - it was suggested that we could advertise through Sure Start but I can't see how to do that, so if anyone's got any tips I'd be really grateful.
Thanks in advance!

Hi try your local netmums site they have a childcare needed page, and if you go to the surestart website site they have jobs on there not sure if you can add them yourself or have to contact someone via it, also try your local childrens centre, or council as they may know the best place to advertise. Our local area has a childrens services shop in the main town, that offers advice for parents on childcare and also has adverts of jobs for us childcarers.

I would contact your LEA and get them to put it inthe jobs bulletin - also does your LEA use anything like greensheets - www.schoolvacancies.co.uk/ (don't think is too expensive!) - these are often found printed in staffrooms - also could you put it in school newsletter? might be a parent who would be interested?
