We are looking for brilliant playworker/s to support our provision: safe spaces where children can relax, feel happy and content to wind down, or run off steam, at either end of the school day.

We are keen to recruit the best people and can offer flexibility in the roles: you may be able to fit one of the clubs around your other commitments or wish to take on both.

Please state any preferences on your application.

We would love to hear from you if…

You’re passionate about play! Children follow directed learning during their school day, so our provision needs to be a chance for them to play their way, a fluid space where they can relax, have a snack or light meal and enjoy time with their friends. You’ll need confidence, good instincts, an approachable nature and the ability to multi-task.
