We are looking for a kind, enthusiastic and reliable Play Worker to join our team. You will help create a safe, stimulating and inclusive environment, supporting children's play, friendships and independence. Working alongside colleagues, you will prepare engaging activities, respond to children's interests and support daily routines, helping every child feel valued and included.
Our children love exploring outdoors. The school's forest school area, kitchen garden and resident chickens provide wonderful opportunities for discovery, creativity and hands-on learning. We celebrate different cultures and festivals and help children develop kindness, respect and care for others.
We offer a friendly, supportive team and value the contribution of every member of staff. Staff wellbeing is important to us, with regular opportunities to discuss support and wellbeing throughout the year.
What We Are Looking For

Good communication, a positive work ethic and the ability to use your initiative are essential, alongside a willingness to contribute ideas and work collaboratively.
