If you enjoy working with children, being creative, and making a positive difference in your community, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the Role

We’re excited to welcome motivated Sessional Playworkers to support our holiday provision, offering high-quality, inclusive play experiences for children and young people.

In this role, you’ll help create safe, welcoming spaces where children can relax, play freely, and be themselves. Whether it’s supporting games, crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, you’ll play an important part in making each day enjoyable and meaningful.

You’ll encourage children to explore their ideas, build confidence, develop friendships, and have a voice in shaping their play experiences. Every day will be different, rewarding, and full of energy.

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

Passionate about working with children and supporting play
Friendly, approachable, and a strong team player
A confident communicator with good interpersonal skills
Flexible and reliable, with a positive attitude
Willing to learn about safeguarding and child protection
Experienced in working with children (helpful, but not essential)

Easter holidays 2027 (1 week)
