About the service: We are Bucks Activity Project, one of over 400 services in the Action for Children family. We are passionate about providing community short breaks to children with disabilities and additional needs for children aged 0-19. We provide activities and sessions on Saturdays, school holidays and in our evening youth clubs. Every child has the opportunity to have fun, build skills and promote independence at their pace, supported by a welcoming, responsive and fun team.

What will you do? As a Children’s Services Worker you will work inside a team delivering interventions to children and young people in a group setting, with appropriate direction. Can you take responsibility for the safety, care, and engagement of children, instilling a culture of continuous improvement? Can you ensure each child is supported to achieve the best outcomes? You will be supported to make a difference by not only providing personal care but encouraging the children and young people to access a wide range of activities to meet their individual needs and interests including arts and crafts, sensory play, cooking, team games, outdoor play, enhancing life skills. You will also be engaging, having fun, and interacting with children and young people that take part in activities in the local community such as climbing, water sports, go karting and visits to local farms and parks.

How you'll help to create brighter futures as a Childrens Services Worker: Although experience of working with children and part of a team to support children and young people is desirable, you don’t need to have previous qualifications. All we ask is that you have a positive attitude and desire to give the best care to children and young people with an understanding of safeguarding and how to communicate effectively with others. If you have experience in childcare, babysitting, volunteering in a nursery or early years environment, or a room leader looking for a new challenge, or you have been looking after a sibling or a child with a learning disability we want to talk to you.

Please note that all our positions require an Enhanced DBS check in relation to children and adults.

Diversity, equality, and inclusion: At Action for Children, we’re dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. We actively encourage applications from Black, Asian & Minority Ethnic, and disabled candidates as they are under‑represented within Action for Children. We want to take deliberate and purposeful action to ensure equal opportunity to all groups in society.
