The role of the Play worker is fun, varied, tiring, messy, and noisy, but also very rewarding! Play workers plan, organise, and supervise play opportunities for children and young people.
We are looking for enthusiastic, fun, friendly Play workers. A recognised childcare qualification would be ideal although not a necessity.
We ask that you:
* Enjoy working with children
* Can ‘Play’ and have fun
* Can work as part of a team
* Can show initiative and be well organised
You will be required to:
* Work as part of a team supporting children’s play and meeting the children’s needs.
* Supervise and engage with the children and encourage their development.
* Plan exciting activities in a safe environment.
* Build relationships with the children and their families.
During a typical After School Club session, you will spend time playing both indoors and outdoors. The kind of activities you will be expected to provide and join in with are arts & crafts, group games such as football, rounders, tag, dodgeball, cooking, and much more! You will be required to prepare snacks and tidy up at the end of the session. You will supervise the children at all times and make sure that safety procedures are followed. You will be required to walk the children to school in the mornings and collect them after school.
The hours required are term time Monday – Friday 2.45-6pm, with possible occasional breakfast cover from 7:45am-9am and school holidays if you wish.
Further hours are available working at our Day Nursery.
Salary is dependent on whether you have a childcare qualification and experience.
We will offer you:
* A competitive rate of pay with paid holiday.
* Training.
* Fun working environment.
* Team building and nights out.
* Other employment and training opportunities within our Preschool and Day Nursery.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The position is subject to a successful DBS clearance check at an enhanced level, the cost of which is covered by the applicant. You will also be required to sign up to the DBS update service.
We also follow safer recruiting practices and therefore ask all candidates to complete an application form. You can obtain this by emailing us. We will invite successful applicants for an interview and a trial play session.
We look forward to hearing from you!
