As a Play Worker, you'll be part of a dedicated team passionate about what they do.

- 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.
