Saturday Playscheme

Through our Saturday Playscheme sessions the children and young people will learn a variety

of new skills and take part in activities that enhance their engagement, choice and

independence.

On-site activities at our all access building, The Wellington Centre, that the children and young

people can participate in include: computer activities, sensory activities in the sensory room,

cooking and life skills, film events and outdoor play in the garden area. The children can also

participate in off-site activities making use of local businesses and amenities for activities

(cinema, glow golf, bowling, iron age museum, local nature reserves, play areas, Charlton

lakes etc.).

**What is a typical day at Saturday Playscheme?**

Your day will begin with the children arriving for a day of fun. Depending on what has been

preplanned for the session, you may be based at the centre or getting ready for an off-site

activity. The children will have a range of activities that they can do and will be encouraged to

make their own decisions. If you are out and about, you will be assigned to a child or children

and you will be expected to ensure their safety and well-being. Once the activities are finished,

and the children have gone home, you will be completing paperwork and supporting your

colleagues to ensure the space is clean and tidy for the next fun filled day

**Where will I be based?**

You will be based at The Wellington Centre in Andover.

**What hours would I be expected to do?**

The sessions are various Saturdays throughout the year. The sessions begin at 9.45am and

**What training or experience will I need?**
