About the Employer

LifeLine Projects was founded in 2000 by a group of volunteers in East London who saw a need in their local community. Realising that they could be part of the solution, they began working with isolated and marginalised women. Since then, we’ve grown from a small organisation with just two part-time members of staff, to one of the larger community-based social enterprises in the capital. Over the years, we’ve worked with numerous organisations to deliver many public-sector-funded programmes, and we’ve received several awards recognising the fruits of our programmes and been short-listed for many more.

Little Learners is our initiative to provide a warm and stimulating environment where young children have the best chance to learn and flourish.

Each day is filled with activities and adventures tailored for each age group, letting children learn while playing together and having fun.
