Extended Day Staff

Afterschool Program Supervisor

HUB is Hamlin's afterschool care program. HUB stands for "Hang out, Unwind, Belong" – it's also a fitting name because HUB is the center of activities in Hamlin's Extended Day Programs. Our Extended Day team works daily to make each student feel welcomed, nourished, and engaged during their time with us. We provide a mix of structured and unstructured activities, and students can choose to move between playing outside with their friends, getting their homework done, participating in an art activity, or relaxing with a book or a game. HUB sees anywhere from 60-100 students per day, and is usually busy, lively, and energetic! Ideal candidate has energy to match that of our students and programs.

Primary Responsibility: Supervise students' indoor and outdoor play with joy and enthusiasm. Promote and facilitate compliance with Hamlin health and safety guidelines.

Work Schedule:

• 2:30pm-5:30pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays
• 1:30pm-5:30pm Wednesdays (staff meeting day) and Fridays (early dismissal day)
• Ideal candidate can work some full days for school break camps (including November 23rd-24th and March 25th-26th).
• Optional additional hours available: substitute teaching during the school day as well as working special events.
• The role begins August 20, 2026.
