Using your knowledge of child development theories to promote and support play through a variety of methods including 1:1 work and group sessions.

Being able to cater activities to a patient individual needs and adapt to change.

Working with children and young people with neurodiversity and additional needs.

Provide high quality play for patients and families, supporting a family centered approach.

Promote a holistic approach in caring for a child or young person and acting as an advocate to multi professionals.

Good communication, active listening skills and the ability to be empathetic towards the child/ young persons needs.

Working within a multi-disciplinary team including youth workers, nursing and medical professions.

Ability to manage own work load and prioritise tasks.

Supporting patients on the wards whilst they are unwell. The Play Leader should have the ability to deal with challenging situations in the healthcare setting, have a degree of resilience and to be able to work in clinical areas.

Work in a professional manner and document work effectively.
