**About The Role**:
***

**Employer - KIDS**

**Hours - **Working hours are typically from approximately 9:45 am to 4:15 pm every Saturday and throughout all school holidays, which is approximately 14 weeks in total.**

**Location - Bracknell Forest, **The Courthouse, Broadway, Berkshire, RG12 1AE**

- Referral program.

Would you be available on Saturdays and during school holidays to spend time with our young people? We run two separate groups: one for children under 11 and another for those aged 11-18. Your role would involve ensuring the children and young people have access to stimulating and enjoyable activities, fostering fun experiences.

Activities may include outings to locations such as the cinema or bowling alley, enjoying fish and chips in the park, playing football, shopping, or exploring the town. For older attendees, assistance with independent living skills may also be provided.

As a Play Worker, you'll be part of a dedicated team passionate about what they do. You'll receive ample support and will naturally encourage children to play adventurously, creatively, and imaginatively. This role is immensely fulfilling as you help children maximize the benefits of the service's facilities.

- Energetic approach to working with children and young people
- Enjoyment of physical activity and fun
- Ability to collaborate effectively with parents/carers
- Strong teamwork and communication skills
- Patience, acceptance, sensitivity, reliability, integrity, and resilience.

**Our Mission & Strategy**

We’re here for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities, young carers and families. We’re on a mission to create a world where all kinds of children and young people have all kinds of opportunities. We create life-changing opportunities by providing a wide range of support. Together, we’ll empower disabled children to stand up for their rights.

Childhood should be a joyful time. But some children and young people living with special educational needs and disabilities are defined by what they cannot do. That’s wrong.

Every child should have an equal opportunity to play, learn, grow and thrive.

**_ Because when the world says we can’t, kids say we can._**

Our strategic plan will enable us to reach 120,000 disabled young people and their families, every year, by 2027.

We deeply value the safety and wellbeing of all individuals who interact with our services. Our staff members receive comprehensive training to recognise and address safeguarding concerns. We work closely with families and other organisations to take every reasonable measure to minimise the risk of harm to children, young people, and adults.

To uphold our commitment to inclusivity, we adhere to rigorous safer recruitment and selection procedures. We foster a culture of inclusivity and transparency, where any concerns regarding our personnel can be raised and addressed promptly and appropriately. By identifying and addressing concerning, problematic, or inappropriate behaviour early on, our aim is to create a safe and supportive environment for all.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion are fundamental principles that guide everything we do at KIDS. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected and valued. We strive to ensure that all members of the KIDS team have equal access to employment opportunities, promotions, and professional development. Our commitment to inclusivity is embedded in our business planning, organisational structures, values and the personal development plans of all staff members. We believe that by embracing diversity and promoting inclusion, we can create a stronger and more vibrant community for everyone.
