London, United Kingdom The Winch Full time

**Play Worker (including Sports)**

**The Opportunity**

For over 20 years, the Winch has operated after school club and holiday play scheme services to thousands of children and families, through which we offer a multitude of play opportunities through arts, sports, games and educational activities daily. The After School Club / Holiday Play Scheme at the Winch provides a play service that caters for children aged 4-11 years and operates for 48 weeks of the year.

Play takes many forms and is different for each child. Play can be described as actions, movements and activities, carried out in any given moment, that are intrinsically motivated and freely chosen. Whether by themselves or with others, when children play, they express their creativity and engage their imagination. They react spontaneously to the discoveries they make in their environment whilst navigating their way through challenges and risks.

You will support an experienced team of professional play workers and deliver a range of activities including multisport, arts and crafts and learning through play.

**About The Winch**

**Every child, from cradle to career.**

Founded in 1972, when local residents repurposed a dilapidated pub for the benefit of the community, The Winch’s vision is to transform the life chances of children growing up in north Camden, London. We achieve this by making it our mission to build a cradle to career ecosystem of support; drawing together relationships, opportunities and services around children, young people and their families.

The Winch has developed an innovative, evidence-informed model that is effective in supporting children, young people and families facing multiple disadvantages in our community. It works by putting their voices, experiences and aspirations at the heart of our work and doing whatever it takes - over the long term -to help ensure they can succeed.

We work collaboratively with partners to reduce fragmentation and stigma in how services are designed and accessed, and to encourage local cooperation. Our model drives the way in which we tackle poverty, exclusion and injustice by ‘building a village around the child’.

**We’re committed to the following values**:

- Act with integrity
- Be ready for anything
- Go the extra mile
- Show compassion
- Take the initiative
- Work collaboratively

**About You**:
You will be the difference that helps make a difference to children. To achieve our mission, we want to continue to grow as a confident, outward-looking and sustainable organisation committed to its own development and the development of the people who make it a success.

With an exciting new strategy in place, a new community facility under construction and a diverse, creative staff and support team, we are looking for an experienced Play or Sports worker who can engage creatively with children between the ages of 4 -11 years.

You will have the vision, values and skills to support children on a daily basis. You will help to create an environment in which they can develop and express their views. You will enable and energize them to positively engage in activities and opportunities which encourage fun, self-expression, confidence and playful learning and discovery.

You will be flexible and committed to every child’s growth, development and wellbeing. You will help children to learn about themselves, others and the world around them.

Most importantly, you will feel a genuine affinity with our mission and the children we work with and be committed to building an active programme they can be proud to have in their lives.
