Play Worker – 22.5 Hours Per Week
CLASP Central Leith Afterschool Provision – Leith, Edinburgh

To apply, please complete and submit an application form.

CLASP Central Leith Afterschool Provision (www.clasp.scot) is an out-of-school childcare service based within Leith Primary School. We are a charitable, non-profit organisation that has provided affordable, high-quality after-school and holiday club care for primary-aged children for over 30 years.

Our approach is child-led, with children’s choices, interests and wellbeing at the heart of everything we do. We provide stimulating play opportunities that are shaped by children’s ideas, needs and preferences.

Our service is managed by a voluntary Management Committee, with the day-to-day running supported by our management team, including the Service Manager, Deputy Managers, Play Workers and Playworker Assistants.

We are currently recruiting a Play Worker (22.5 hours per week) to join our friendly and supportive team.

Working hours:

Monday: 2pm – 6pm
Tuesday: 2pm – 6pm
Wednesday: 2pm – 6pm
Thursday: 1:30pm – 6pm
Friday: 11:30am - 6pm

Pay:

Assistant Playworker (unqualified): £13.17 per hour
Playworker (qualified): £13.72 per hour

Term-time and holiday club contracts available.

During school holidays (excluding Christmas), we provide holiday clubs where hours and shift patterns vary. This includes trips, activities and opportunities for children to experience a wide range of play opportunities in line with play work principles.

The Role

As a Play Worker, you will support children’s play, learning and wellbeing by:

Supervising and engaging with children in a safe, caring and inclusive environment
Supporting children’s health, wellbeing and development in line with GIRFEC principles and the SHANARRI wellbeing indicators
Creating, preparing and facilitating play opportunities based on children’s interests
Supporting children to make choices and express themselves through play
Working collaboratively as part of the staff team
Using creativity and initiative to develop activities and play spaces
Maintaining a clean, safe and welcoming environment, including equipment, resources and storage areas
Following health and safety procedures and completing relevant training

About You

We are looking for someone who:

Has experience working with children (experience in a childcare/play work setting is desirable)

Can build positive relationships with children, families and colleagues
Works well as part of a team and can also use their own initiative
Has good organisational and time management skills
Is committed to child-centred practice and play work values
Has good spoken and written English skills

A relevant qualification in Play work/Childcare (for example SVQ Level 3 or equivalent) is desirable. Applicants who do not currently hold the qualification must be willing to work towards an appropriate qualification, with support provided by CLASP through our training provider.
