About Us:

 

Bring joy into countless lives – and explore the most fulfilling career. 

 

At the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, we strive to shape services that will afford our local population a great sense of wellbeing. Some of our residents need extra support to handle the challenges that life has presented them with, such as families of children with complex Special Educational Needs (SEN) and disabilities. As such, we have devised a high quality play-scheme that operates 7-days a week, that provides these parents and carers with some much-needed respite, while the children have a great time and learn valuable life skills. It is against this backdrop that you could join a team who work as a collaborative unit to deliver the best possible experience for everyone who makes use of this incredible service.

The Role:

 

Our friendly and charismatic team support children with various disabilities from birth through to the age of 18. We share a commitment to ensuring that they’re having fun, while always promoting their independence and ensuring they are thriving in a genuinely happy environment. This makes for a spectacularly fantastic workplace, so we are confidently that you will excel here Every day will present you with new challenges, but across the board you can expect to help children develop their social, physical, intellectual, creative and emotional skills through play. This will involve planning and delivering a wide array of activities including, sports, arts and crafts, and games. Whether working onsite at the play centre or in the community, you will engage closely with the children, handling their personal care needs as required. Staff will be working with the children to achieve their smart outcomes according to their individual profiles.

Crucially, you will be able to work a minimum of two days in the February, May and October half terms, two days in the Easter and Christmas holidays, and at least three weeks over the summer holidays.
