Are you seeking a fulfilling opportunity within a feminist organization dedicated to ending gender-based violence? We invite you to consider joining our team as a Sessional Play Worker at Solace Women's Aid.

Our mission is to eradicate the harm caused by gender-based violence, focusing on prevention and providing tailored services for survivors, particularly women and children. We adopt a holistic and empowering approach, working closely with survivors to help them lead independent lives free from abuse.

About Our Services:

The Haringey Generic Refuges offer emergency accommodation for women and children escaping domestic abuse and sexual violence. We support families during crises, assisting them in taking their initial steps toward freedom and recovery.

Role Overview:

As a Sessional Play Worker, you will play a vital role in planning and delivering engaging sessions and activities for children and young people residing in the refuge. Your responsibilities will include listening to children's feedback to tailor services to their needs and aspirations.

You should demonstrate the ability to work independently and as part of a team. A minimum of NVQ Level 2 or equivalent in childcare, playwork, youth work, sports coaching, or creative arts is preferred. We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, expecting all staff to share this commitment.

While you may not meet every requirement listed in the job profile, your interpersonal skills, passion for making a positive impact, commitment to our mission, and ability to learn quickly and collaborate effectively are equally important.

  • Flexible working arrangements
