Spend Your Summer Making Childhood Amazing!

Looking for a summer job that's active, rewarding and genuinely makes a difference?

Forget sitting behind a desk. This is an opportunity to spend your summer building dens, leading games, creating art, exploring nature, supporting adventures and helping children have an unforgettable holiday.

Supporting children with a range of needs and abilities
Assisting with the maintenance and development of playground spaces and resources
Promoting safeguarding, health and safety and positive behaviour
Supporting community events, activities and special projects
Working as part of a team to provide an exceptional summer play programme

Who We're Looking For

You'll be someone who:

Enjoys working with children and young people
Has experience through employment, volunteering, childcare, youth work, sports coaching, education, holiday programmes or community projects
Understands the importance of play and positive experiences in children's development
Is energetic, enthusiastic and approachable
Can communicate effectively and work well within a team
Is committed to inclusion, equality and safeguarding
Can build positive relationships with children, families and colleagues
Enjoys practical, hands-on work and being outdoors
