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

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
